I am sorry to hear about your Avalanche. It really is difficult to diagnose a problem like this over the internet. Have you been able to start the vehicle since this occurred? Does the vehicle make any noise when attempting to start? Does any of the electrical work (headlights, radio, etc.)? You may have take the vehicle in for an inspection.

Keep me posted. I look forward to your reply.
