End Frustrating Electrical Problems in Your GM Truck or SUV
Is your vehicle acting possessed? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows and locks, a security system that won’t cooperate, or strange warnings on your dash are classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can cause a cascade of confusing and annoying issues. This pre-programmed BCM is the definitive solution to restore order and get your truck or SUV functioning correctly again.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM & Your Direct Solution
If you’re experiencing any of the following, a faulty BCM is the likely culprit:
- Intermittent or non-working power windows, door locks, or interior lights.
- Erratic instrument cluster behavior or inaccurate gauge readings.
- The security or anti-theft system preventing the engine from starting.
- HVAC (heating and air conditioning) controls not responding.
- Communication errors with other vehicle modules (Diagnostic Trouble Codes often start with ‘U’).

An Expert’s Note: The VIN Programming Difference
“Many people think they can just grab a BCM from a salvage yard and swap it in. Unfortunately, it’s not that simple. A BCM is coded specifically to the vehicle it came from—its engine, transmission, and accessory options like power seats or a sunroof. Installing a mismatched module can cause even more problems or simply not work at all. Our VIN-programming service is the critical step that makes this a true, reliable repair. We ensure the ‘brain’ we send you is ready to work perfectly with your vehicle’s unique ‘body’ from the moment it’s installed.”
Important Post-Installation Information
While this BCM is programmed for your vehicle, certain security and safety systems may require a ‘handshake’ with the new module after installation. This is a standard procedure. Depending on your specific model, you may need a qualified technician with a professional scan tool to perform one or more of the following relearn procedures:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is on after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure is required to sync the systems.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: A recalibration may be needed to ensure proper brake light and traction control function.
This professionally prepared 2010 Avalanche 1500 Body Control Module is your best path to resolving persistent electrical issues and restoring the full functionality you depend on.
Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does a Body Control Module do?
The BCM is a computer that supervises and controls many of your vehicle’s non-engine-related functions. This includes power windows, locks, lights, wipers, the security system, and the instrument cluster, acting as the main communication hub for these systems.
Is this BCM truly plug-and-play?
It is ‘electronically’ plug-and-play, as we program it to your VIN. However, as noted above, certain vehicle safety systems like the airbag (SRS) or brake sensor may require a simple relearn procedure with a diagnostic tool after installation to fully sync with the new module.
How do I provide my VIN number?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot program and ship your BCM without it. Please double-check it for accuracy to ensure proper programming.
Do I need to return my old BCM?
No. This product has no core charge. You can keep, recycle, or dispose of your original module at your convenience.
What if my original part number isn’t on the list?
The provided list of part numbers are all interchangeable. As long as your vehicle make, model, and year are listed in the compatibility chart, this programmed 2010 Avalanche 1500 Body Control Module will function as a direct replacement, even if your original number differs.
