Restore Full Electrical Function to Your 2010 Yukon XL
Are you battling frustrating and unpredictable electrical problems in your GMC Yukon XL? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows or locks, a security system that acts up, or strange warning lights on your dash are all classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central nervous system for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it starts to fail, it can cause a cascade of seemingly unrelated issues. This isn’t just an annoyance; it can compromise your vehicle’s safety and security. Don’t let a faulty module dictate how your truck behaves. Take control back with our pre-programmed, direct-fit replacement BCM.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2010 Yukon XL come into the shop with a list of complaints that sounded like a poltergeist was living in the dashboard. The radio would change stations on its own, the interior dome lights would stay on, and the driver’s side power window only worked intermittently. The owner had already replaced the window switch and checked fuses, but the problems persisted. A full diagnostic scan showed multiple communication errors pointing towards the BCM. Instead of a dozen small problems, it was one central failure. We installed a VIN-programmed 2010 Yukon XL BCM, and instantly, every single electrical gremlin vanished. The truck was back to its reliable self, and the owner was relieved to have a simple, definitive solution.
Is Your Body Control Module Failing?
A failing BCM can manifest in numerous ways. If you’re experiencing any of the following, it’s highly likely your BCM is the culprit. This module is a direct solution for these common issues:
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or mirrors operating erratically or not at all.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights (headlights, taillights, dome lights) flickering, staying on, or not turning on.
- ✔ The vehicle’s security system or keyless entry failing to work correctly.
- ✔ Horn honking unexpectedly or not working when pressed.
- ✔ Warning lights like ‘Service StabiliTrak’ or ‘Service Traction Control’ appearing on the dash.
- ✔ Wipers activating on their own or not responding to the switch.
- ✔ Communication issues with other modules, leading to false diagnostic trouble codes.
The Plug-and-Play Solution for Your 2010 Yukon XL BCM
Replacing a BCM used to mean a trip to the dealership for expensive programming and calibration. We eliminate that hassle completely. When you order from us, you provide your vehicle’s VIN, and we program the module with the latest, most stable software updates directly from GM. This ensures that the module is perfectly matched to your Yukon’s specific options and features right out of the box. The result is a simple, straightforward installation process that you can often do yourself with basic hand tools.
This BCM, part number 15837419, is a direct replacement for a wide range of original equipment part numbers, guaranteeing compatibility and function. Simply locate your old module (typically under the steering column on the driver’s side), disconnect the battery, swap the modules, and reconnect the battery. You’ll restore your vehicle’s electronics to factory-perfect condition without the dealership price tag or wait times.
Important Post-Installation Information
While our programming handles the critical setup, some vehicle systems may require a ‘handshake’ with the new BCM. Please be aware of these potential procedures:
- Airbag System Sync: If your airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure is necessary. This requires a professional-grade scan tool to sync the new BCM with the airbag system and clear the light.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration might be needed to ensure your brake lights and traction control system function as intended.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician if you are unsure about any part of the installation process.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No, there is no core charge for this part. You can keep your original module.
Will this BCM require programming at a dealership?
Absolutely not. We handle all the programming before we ship the unit. Simply provide your vehicle’s VIN during checkout, and it will arrive ready to install, saving you hundreds of dollars in dealer fees.
Where is the BCM located on my 2010 Yukon XL?
On the 2010 GMC Yukon XL 1500, the Body Control Module is typically located under the driver’s side of the dashboard, near the steering column. It’s a black box with several large electrical connectors.
What happens if my airbag light comes on after I install it?
This is a known possibility. The new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the airbag system’s computer (SDM). A procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ must be performed with a compatible high-end scan tool to turn off the light. Many independent repair shops can perform this service.
Is this part compatible with other vehicles?
Yes, this BCM fits a wide variety of GM trucks, vans, and SUVs from approximately 2006-2013, including the Tahoe, Suburban, Escalade, Express, Acadia, and more. Providing your VIN ensures we program it correctly for your specific make, model, and options.
