Restore Your Vehicle’s Electrical System with a Plug-and-Play BCM
Are you experiencing frustrating electrical problems in your 2010 GMC Yukon XL 1500? Issues like malfunctioning power windows, flickering lights, or a faulty security system are often caused by a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM acts as the central nervous system for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can cause a wide range of confusing and intermittent symptoms. This replacement Body Control Module is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s proper function and get you back on the road with confidence.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2010 Yukon XL come into the shop with a laundry list of bizarre electrical gremlins. The radio would turn on and off, the driver’s side window wouldn’t go down, and the anti-theft light would flash randomly, sometimes preventing the vehicle from starting. After hours of checking wiring and fuses, we traced the issue to an internally failing BCM. Instead of a costly trip to the dealer for a new module and programming, the owner opted for one of our pre-programmed units. The installation was straightforward, and once connected, all the strange electrical issues were gone. It’s a perfect example of how a single component can cause widespread problems and how a direct-fit, pre-programmed part is the most efficient fix.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
If you’re noticing any of the following issues, a faulty BCM is the likely culprit. This module is a direct replacement that resolves these common problems:
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional power windows, door locks, or mirrors.
- ✔ Interior dome lights or exterior lights staying on or not turning on at all.
- ✔ The security system engaging randomly or preventing the vehicle from starting.
- ✔ Inconsistent or non-working dashboard gauges and warning lights.
- ✔ HVAC (heating and air conditioning) controls not responding.
- ✔ Intermittent issues with the radio or infotainment system.
- ✔ Communication errors with other vehicle modules, often flagged by a diagnostic scan tool.
Why Choose Our Pre-Programmed 2010 Yukon XL BCM?
Replacing a BCM isn’t just about swapping the part. A new module must be programmed with your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and factory-installed options to work correctly. Our service eliminates the need for expensive dealership programming. We flash this module with the latest GM software updates using your VIN before it ships. This ensures it communicates perfectly with your vehicle’s other systems right out of the box. This unit is a direct replacement for a wide range of part numbers, including 15880684, 25892622, 20815898, and many more, making it a versatile solution for numerous GM trucks, SUVs, and vans.
Installation and Post-Install Procedures
While installation is plug-and-play, some vehicles may require simple relearn procedures after the new BCM is installed. These are not always necessary but are important to be aware of:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a professional scan tool is needed to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration might be required to ensure proper brake light and traction control operation.
Disclaimer: Specific procedures can vary by vehicle. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to get this BCM programmed by a dealer?
No. We program the module to your vehicle’s VIN before we ship it to you. It arrives ready to install, saving you time and the high cost of dealership programming. Please provide your VIN at checkout.
Where is the BCM located on a 2010 GMC Yukon XL 1500?
The BCM is typically located under the driver’s side of the dashboard, near the steering column.

No, there is no core charge. You can keep your old module, so you don’t have to worry about the hassle and expense of shipping it back.
What if my airbag light comes on after I install it?
This can happen. It means the new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the airbag system. A technician with a professional diagnostic tool will need to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to resolve this.
Will this part fix my specific electrical problem?
This BCM will fix issues directly caused by a faulty module. If your vehicle exhibits several of the symptoms listed, such as erratic lights, locks, and security faults, it is very likely that a failing BCM is the root cause.
