End Frustrating Electrical Problems in Your Avalanche
Are strange electrical issues making your 2010 Chevrolet Avalanche feel unreliable? Flickering lights, power windows that won’t cooperate, a security system with a mind of its own, or random warning chimes are all classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). This central computer is the ‘brain’ for your truck’s body electronics, and when it malfunctions, it can cause a cascade of confusing and annoying problems. Stop chasing symptoms and replace the core component with this direct-fit, professionally programmed BCM.
Common Symptoms & Your Direct-Fit Solution
A failing BCM can be difficult to diagnose, often mimicking other issues. If your Avalanche is experiencing any of the following, a faulty BCM is the likely culprit:
- Power windows, door locks, or mirrors working intermittently or not at all.
- Interior or exterior lights flickering, staying on, or not turning on.
- The security system engaging randomly or preventing the truck from starting (anti-theft light).
- Erratic behavior from the radio, climate controls, or dashboard gauges.
- Communication error codes (U-codes) stored in the vehicle’s diagnostic system.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does the 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, door locks, interior and exterior lighting, the security system, wipers, and more. It acts as a central hub for these electronic accessories.
How do I provide my vehicle’s VIN?
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. You can typically find your VIN on the driver’s side dashboard (visible through the windshield) or on the driver’s side door jamb sticker.
Is this part difficult to install?
For someone with moderate mechanical experience, the installation is typically straightforward. The BCM is usually located under the steering column or dash. The primary task involves disconnecting the battery and then carefully swapping the electrical connectors from the old module to the new one. However, we always recommend consulting a service manual or a professional technician if you are unsure.
What if my airbag light is on after installation?
In some cases, the new BCM may need to be synchronized with the airbag system (SDM). If the airbag warning light comes on, a professional scan tool is required to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. This is a simple sync that a qualified repair shop can perform.
Will any other procedures be required after installation?
Depending on your specific model and options, a brake pedal position sensor relearn procedure may be necessary. This ensures your brake lights and traction control system function correctly. As stated in the included information, specific procedures can vary, so consulting a professional is always recommended if you encounter any issues.
Does this part fit vehicles other than the 2010 Avalanche?
Yes. This BCM is compatible with a wide range of GM vehicles, including models of the Equinox, Express Van, Impala, Acadia, Tahoe, Yukon, Escalade, and more. The provided list in the description details the specific models and years this part fits.
