Restore Full Functionality to Your Vehicle
Are you battling frustrating and unpredictable electrical issues in your 2010 Cadillac Escalade or other GM vehicle? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, a dead instrument cluster, or even a vehicle that refuses to start are all classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). This vital electronic component is the central nervous system for your vehicle’s body and accessory functions. When it fails, it can create a cascade of problems that are not only annoying but can compromise your vehicle’s usability and safety. Don’t let electrical gremlins dictate your driving experience. Take control with a reliable, pre-programmed solution.

- Warning lights appearing on the dashboard for no apparent reason
- Problems with the security system or keyless entry

Expert Insight: The Power of Pre-Programming
From over 20 years in diagnostics, I can tell you that the number one headache with modern electronic modules is programming. A new BCM from the dealer is just a blank box; it does nothing until it’s programmed with a proprietary, expensive scan tool. This process often requires towing the vehicle to a shop. By providing you with a 2010 Escalade Programmed Body Control Module, we handle that complex, critical step for you. We ensure it has the correct software and is calibrated to the options your vehicle was built with, preventing the frustrating compatibility errors that plague non-programmed units.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to take this BCM to a dealer for programming?
No. The main benefit of our service is that we program the Body Control Module to your vehicle’s VIN before we ship it to you. This makes the unit ready for installation right out of the box, saving you a trip to the dealership and costly programming fees.
How do I provide you with my vehicle’s VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit VIN. You can typically find this on your vehicle’s registration, insurance card, or on a plate on the driver’s side of the dashboard visible through the windshield.
What are the most common signs of a failing Body Control Module?
The most common symptoms include erratic behavior from your power accessories like windows and locks, dashboard warning lights turning on and off, issues with the security system, and sometimes even a no-start condition. If your vehicle’s electronics are acting unpredictably, the BCM is a very likely culprit.
What if my airbag light is on after I install the new BCM?
In some cases, the new BCM may need to be synchronized with the vehicle’s airbag system (SDM). This is a security feature. If the airbag light is on after installation, a procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ will need to be performed by a qualified technician with a professional-grade diagnostic tool.
Is this a difficult part to install myself?
For someone with basic mechanical skills, the physical installation is typically straightforward. The BCM is usually located under the dashboard on the driver’s side. The main challenge is accessing it. The most difficult part—the programming—is already done for you. We always recommend consulting a service manual for the exact location and procedure for your specific model.
