Restore Your Truck’s Electrical System with a Plug-and-Play Solution
Are you chasing electrical gremlins in your 2010 GMC Yukon XL 1500? Flickering lights, power windows with a mind of their own, or a security system that randomly acts up? These aren’t just annoyances; they’re classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central command for your truck’s body electronics, and when it starts to fail, it can cause a cascade of frustrating and seemingly unrelated problems. This isn’t a part you can ignore—a faulty BCM can even lead to a no-start condition, leaving you stranded.
We offer a dependable and straightforward solution: a replacement 2010 Yukon XL 1500 BCM that arrives at your doorstep pre-programmed for your specific vehicle. Simply provide us with your VIN after purchase, and our technicians will flash the module with the latest GM software updates. This means no expensive trips to the dealership for programming, saving you time and money. It’s the most efficient way to restore full functionality and peace of mind.
A Technician’s Notebook
I remember a 2010 Yukon XL that came into the bay with a laundry list of complaints from the owner. The dome lights wouldn’t turn off, the driver’s side power lock was dead, and the remote start worked only intermittently. The owner had already replaced the battery and checked fuses, but the problems persisted. A quick scan showed multiple communication codes (U-codes) pointing to the BCM. Instead of a costly diagnostic and programming session at the dealer, we installed one of our VIN-programmed modules. In under an hour, every single electrical issue was resolved. It’s a common failure, and having a pre-programmed part makes the fix simple for pros and capable DIYers alike.
Is Your Yukon Showing These Symptoms?
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional power windows, door locks, or mirrors.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights that stay on, flicker, or won’t work at all.
- ✔ The security system or keyless entry failing to operate correctly.
- ✔ The radio or instrument cluster display behaving erratically.
- ✔ Diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) related to communication errors, such as U0140, U0155, or U0164.
- ✔ Intermittent no-start conditions where the engine cranks but won’t fire.
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
- ✔ Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery and wait a few minutes for the system to discharge completely.
- ✔ Locate the BCM: On the 2010 Yukon XL 1500, the Body Control Module is typically located under the driver’s side of the dashboard, near the steering column. You may need to remove a lower dash panel for access.
- ✔ Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors from the old BCM. They have locking tabs that need to be depressed. Once disconnected, unbolt or unclip the module from its mounting bracket.
- ✔ Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed BCM in the same location and securely reconnect all the electrical connectors. You should hear a ‘click’ as they lock into place.
- ✔ Reconnect and Test: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Turn the key to the ‘On’ position and test all functions: lights, locks, windows, radio, etc.
- ✔ Post-Installation Checks: In some cases, additional steps may be needed. If your airbag light is on, an ‘Airbag System Sync’ may be required. A ‘Brake Pedal Position Relearn’ might also be necessary. These procedures typically require a professional scan tool.
Important Note: While this is a direct-fit replacement, always exercise caution. We provide this guide for informational purposes. For detailed, model-specific instructions, consulting a factory service manual is always the best practice.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What does this Body Control Module do?
The BCM acts as the brain for your vehicle’s body electronics, controlling functions like power windows, locks, interior/exterior lighting, security system, and the instrument cluster.
Do I need to program this module?
No. We program the module to your vehicle’s VIN before shipping it to you. It arrives ready for installation, with no dealer visit required for programming.
Is there a core charge or do I need to return my old part?
There is no core charge for this part. You can keep your original module, which simplifies the process for you.
What happens if my airbag light turns on after installation?
This can sometimes happen. It requires a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure with a professional-grade scan tool to sync the airbag system with the new BCM and clear the light.
How do I provide my VIN number?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us a message with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. We cannot program and ship your BCM without it.
Is this difficult to install myself?
For someone with basic mechanical skills, the physical swap is straightforward. The BCM is usually accessible under the dash. The key benefit of our product is that the complex programming is already done for you.
