Restore Your Vehicle’s Electronic Brain and End Electrical Frustration
Are you experiencing a cascade of bizarre electrical issues in your vehicle? Flickering dashboard lights, power windows that have a mind of their own, a security system that won’t cooperate, or even a car that refuses to start? These aren’t just annoyances; they’re classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central command center for your car’s body electronics, and when it falters, it can make your vehicle feel unreliable and unpredictable. This isn’t just a part—it’s the solution to restoring order, predictability, and your peace of mind.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A faulty BCM can manifest in numerous ways, often leading to costly and incorrect diagnoses. If you’re facing any of the following, our pre-programmed BCM is the definitive fix:
- Intermittent or non-functional power windows, door locks, and interior lights.
- Erratic instrument cluster behavior, such as gauges sweeping or warning lights appearing randomly.
- Problems with the anti-theft or keyless entry systems.
- HVAC (heating and air conditioning) controls not responding correctly.
- A no-start condition where the engine cranks but won’t turn over, despite a good battery and starter.
Instead of paying for expensive dealership diagnostics and programming fees, you can get this precisely configured programmed GM body control module 10382479 shipped directly to you, ready for a straightforward installation.

An Expert’s Diagnostic Tip
“I’ve seen countless customers spend hundreds of dollars replacing batteries, alternators, and even starters trying to solve a ‘no-crank’ or ‘no-start’ issue. More often than you’d think, the real culprit is a communication breakdown originating in the BCM. It fails to properly recognize the key or enable the fuel pump relay. By starting with the central controller—the BCM—you can often bypass hours of frustrating diagnostics and fix the root cause of many electrical gremlins at once. This programmed GM body control module 10382479 is the smart repair.”
Simple Ordering & Installation Process
Step 1: Confirm this part is correct for your vehicle by checking your original part number against our extensive cross-reference list.

Step 3: Once you receive the module, disconnect the vehicle’s battery. Locate and replace your old BCM. Reconnect the battery and start the vehicle.
Step 4: In some cases, post-installation procedures like an ‘Airbag System Sync’ or ‘Brake Pedal Position Relearn’ may be required using a professional scan tool if specific warning lights appear. Please consult a service manual or professional technician if you are unsure.
This single component is the key to resolving those persistent electrical issues and restoring the sophisticated functionality you expect from your vehicle. Don’t let a faulty BCM dictate your driving experience; get the reliable, pre-programmed solution today.
Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does a Body Control Module do?
The BCM is a computer that acts as the central hub for your vehicle’s body electronics. It manages functions that aren’t related to the engine, such as power windows, locks, lights, the security system, climate controls, and the instrument cluster.
How do I know for sure that my BCM is the problem?
While the symptoms listed above are strong indicators, the only way to be 100% certain is with a professional diagnosis using a high-level scan tool that can communicate with the BCM and check for specific fault codes (DTCs). However, if you’re experiencing multiple, unrelated electrical issues simultaneously, the BCM is the most likely cause.
Is this really a plug-and-play part?
Yes. Because we program the module to your specific VIN before it leaves our facility, it is ready to be installed without the need for additional dealer programming for most core functions. However, as noted, certain systems like the airbag (SRS) or brake sensor may require a simple relearn procedure with a scan tool after installation.
Where do I provide my VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will receive instructions on how to send us your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. We cannot ship your order until we receive this information, as it is essential for the programming process.
What if my original part number isn’t on your list?
Please contact us with your vehicle’s VIN and the part number from your original module. GM often supersedes part numbers, and we can verify if this programmed GM body control module 10382479 is the correct, updated replacement for your specific unit.
What tools are needed for the post-installation procedures?
Procedures like the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ for the airbag system or a brake pedal position relearn require a professional-grade bidirectional scan tool. Most basic OBD-II code readers cannot perform these functions. We recommend consulting a qualified repair shop if these procedures are necessary.
