End the Frustration of Unpredictable Electrical Problems
Are you tired of chasing electrical gremlins in your GM vehicle? Unpredictable warning lights, malfunctioning power windows, a security system that acts on its own, or even a frustrating no-start condition can all point to a failing Body Control Module (BCM). This critical component acts as the central hub for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can make your car, truck, or SUV feel unreliable. Stop guessing and replace the faulty unit with a solution designed to work perfectly from the moment you install it.

Expert Insight: Why VIN-Specific Programming is Non-Negotiable
From the technician’s bench, we can tell you a BCM is the central nervous system for your vehicle’s features. It manages everything from your power seats to your keyless entry system. A generic, un-programmed module from a parts store or salvage yard simply won’t work—it doesn’t know your vehicle’s specific options. By programming the BCM to your exact VIN before shipping, we ensure it communicates flawlessly with the engine computer, transmission computer, and other systems, just as it did from the factory. This vital step is the key to a successful, lasting repair and prevents a host of post-installation headaches.
By providing us with your VIN during checkout, you are ensuring that the Programmed GM Body Control Module 10382479 you receive is a perfect match for your vehicle’s electronic architecture. Take control of your repair and restore your vehicle to its original, reliable condition.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to send you my old BCM?
No. This Body Control Module is sold without a core charge. You can keep your original part, which saves you the hassle and cost of return shipping.
Is this part difficult to install?
Because the module comes pre-programmed to your VIN, the electronic part of the job is done. The physical installation is typically straightforward, involving unplugging the old module and plugging in the new one. However, the BCM’s location can vary (e.g., under the dash, behind the glove box). We always recommend consulting a service manual or having a qualified technician perform the installation if you are not comfortable with the process.
What is the process after I place my order?
It’s simple. After you complete your purchase, you must provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. Our technicians will then use this information to program the module with the correct, updated software for your specific vehicle before we ship it to you.
Will I need to perform any procedures after installation?
In some cases, yes. Depending on your vehicle’s specific systems, you may need a professional scan tool to perform a ‘Brake Pedal Position Relearn’ or an ‘Airbag System Sync’ (also known as ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’) if the airbag light comes on. These are standard procedures for ensuring all systems communicate correctly after a BCM replacement.
How can I be sure my BCM is the problem?
The symptoms listed above—like erratic lights, power accessory failure, and security system faults—are strong indicators of a failing BCM. However, to be 100% certain, a full vehicle diagnostic scan by a professional technician is the best way to confirm the BCM is the root cause before ordering a replacement Programmed GM Body Control Module 10382479.
How does the warranty work?
This unit is backed by our one-year replacement warranty. In the unlikely event of a problem with the module within one year of purchase, we will provide a replacement. Please contact us for full details and procedures.
