Description of the problem	My truck stayed parked for 10 days while on vacation. It was running fine when i parked it. Upon returning from vacation i tried to start it and nothing! It wont even try to turn over. After having a private mechanic look at it he said the fuse block under the hood has a short in it. How can it short out just sitting there? This could be a fire hazard & a safety issue!! I have 2 small children & if i were driving & it caught on fire we all could be injured!!!!!! This should open gm's eyes to have a recall on this vehicle.
