Restore Full Functionality to Your Vehicle’s Electronics
Are strange electrical problems turning your drive into a guessing game? Flickering lights, unresponsive power windows, a malfunctioning security system, or intermittent starting issues often point to one central culprit: a failing Body Control Module (BCM). This vital component is the electronic brain for your vehicle’s body and accessory functions. When it fails, it can cause a cascade of frustrating and unpredictable problems. This pre-programmed BCM is the definitive solution to get your vehicle operating reliably again, just as it did from the factory.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
If you’re experiencing any of the following, a faulty BCM is the likely cause. This module is designed to resolve these specific issues:
- Power windows, door locks, or mirrors working intermittently or not at all.
- Interior or exterior lights (including headlights and dome lights) staying on, flickering, or not turning on.
- The vehicle’s security system or horn activating randomly.
- Erratic instrument cluster behavior or warning lights.
- Remote keyless entry failing to work correctly.
- HVAC (heating and air conditioning) control problems.
- No-start conditions where the engine cranks but won’t fire due to security system confusion.
Instead of paying for expensive diagnostic time and programming fees at a dealership, this module offers a direct and efficient path to a solution. As the central hub for your vehicle’s comfort and convenience features, installing a properly functioning 2010 Escalade EXT Body Control Module is crucial for a safe and enjoyable driving experience.
Features & Benefits
- ✔ VIN-Specific Programming: We program this module to your vehicle’s exact VIN before shipping. This ensures compatibility and proper communication with your vehicle’s other electronic systems right out of the box.
- ✔ Latest GM Software Updates: Your BCM will be flashed with the newest, most stable software updates from GM. This helps correct original factory flaws and improves long-term performance and reliability.
- ✔ No Dealership Visit Required: Because the unit arrives pre-programmed, you can avoid the time, cost, and hassle of having a dealership program the module for you.
- ✔ Zero Core Charge: Keep your old module. We don’t require you to send the original part back, simplifying the process and saving you money on core fees and return shipping.
- ✔ One-Year Protection: This unit is backed by our one-year replacement warranty.
An Expert’s Note on BCM Replacement
“As a technician with over two decades of experience, I’ve seen countless electrical headaches caused by failing BCMs. The biggest mistake vehicle owners make is installing a used, unprogrammed module from a salvage yard. These rarely work correctly because they are still ‘locked’ to the donor vehicle’s VIN and options. Our process of programming this 2010 Escalade EXT Body Control Module to your specific VIN before it even leaves our facility is the single most important step in guaranteeing a successful repair. It ensures all the features your vehicle was built with—from the power seats to the specific lighting package—are recognized and controlled correctly.”
Important Post-Installation Information
While this module is programmed for your vehicle, certain systems may require a ‘handshake’ procedure after installation to sync properly. These are standard GM procedures that may need to be performed by you or your mechanic with a capable diagnostic tool.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure is required to sync the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: A brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be necessary on some models to ensure correct brake light operation and traction control system performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Body Control Module do?
The Body Control Module (BCM) acts as a central computer for your vehicle’s non-engine related functions. It controls power windows, locks, lights, the security system, wipers, interior chimes, and many other comfort and convenience features.
Is this BCM difficult to install?
The physical installation is typically straightforward for someone with basic mechanical skills, often involving unplugging the old module and plugging in the new one. It’s usually located under the dashboard. However, some vehicles may require post-installation electronic procedures (like an airbag or brake sensor relearn) which may require a professional scan tool.
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 will then program the module specifically for your vehicle before we ship it out.
Will this fix my specific electrical problem?
This module is the solution for a very wide range of common GM electrical issues. If your vehicle is experiencing several of the symptoms listed above, it is highly likely that a failing BCM is the root cause. Proper vehicle diagnosis is always recommended.
What if the airbag light comes on after installation?
This is a known possibility on these GM platforms. It simply means the new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the airbag system. A procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ must be performed with a professional-grade scan tool to turn off the light.
Is there a core charge for my old part?
No, there is no core charge. You are not required to return your original BCM, which saves you time and money.
