Restore Your Vehicle’s Electrical System with a VIN-Programmed BCM
Are you battling frustrating and unpredictable electrical problems in your GM vehicle? Flickering dash lights, power windows with a mind of their own, a security system that won’t cooperate, or accessories that work intermittently are all classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). This isn’t just an annoyance; it’s a breakdown in your vehicle’s central nervous system. We offer a reliable, straightforward solution: a replacement BCM, professionally programmed to your vehicle’s specific VIN, ready for installation right out of the box.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A faulty BCM can cause a cascade of issues that can be difficult to diagnose. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is the definitive fix:
- Erratic or non-functional power windows, locks, and mirrors
- Interior or exterior lights staying on or not turning on at all
- False security system alarms or vehicle refusing to start (anti-theft)
- Warning lights on the dashboard (ABS, Airbag, Check Engine) with no apparent cause
- Problems with the radio, climate control, or other interior electronics
Instead of paying for expensive diagnostic time and programming fees at a dealership, our programmed 2010 Avalanche 1500 body control module arrives ready to restore your vehicle to its proper factory operation.

Expert Insight: The Power of Pre-Programming
Why is VIN programming so critical? A BCM is not a one-size-fits-all part. It communicates with nearly every other module in your vehicle, from the engine computer to the airbag system. A generic, non-programmed module from a salvage yard or parts store is essentially a blank slate; it won’t work until a dealer with specialized equipment configures it. By programming it to your VIN beforehand, we ensure the BCM knows every detail about your truck—from its trim level to its specific powertrain options. This is the key to a successful and hassle-free repair, saving you hundreds in potential labor and programming fees.
This BCM is a direct replacement for a wide range of GM trucks, vans, and SUVs, including part number 15276271 and many others listed in the fitment guide. After placing your order, simply provide us with your VIN, and our technicians will handle the rest, ensuring you receive a part that is perfectly matched to your vehicle.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the programming process work?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. Our technicians use this number to access the latest official GM software for your specific vehicle build. We then flash this software onto the Body Control Module, so it’s ready for installation when it arrives.
Is this a simple plug-and-play installation?
For most vehicles, yes. Because the unit is pre-programmed, the primary task is physically swapping the old module with the new one. However, some vehicles may require additional relearn procedures, such as for the brake pedal position sensor or airbag system, which may require a professional scan tool.
What if my airbag light comes on after installation?
This can happen on some models. It simply means the new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the airbag system’s Supplemental Deployment Module (SDM). A professional technician can perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure with a capable scan tool to resolve this.
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No, there is no core charge or requirement to return your original part. You can keep it or dispose of it at your convenience.
Will this fix my specific electrical problem?
This programmed 2010 Avalanche 1500 body control module is designed to fix issues directly caused by a failing BCM, such as problems with lights, windows, locks, and security systems. While it solves the most common electrical faults, always ensure a proper diagnosis has been performed to confirm the BCM is the source of your issue.
Where is the BCM located on my vehicle?
The location varies by model. Common locations include under the steering column, behind the dash on the driver’s or passenger’s side, or in the center console. Please consult a service manual for your specific vehicle to confirm the exact location before ordering.
