No quick fix here, someone needs to check for spark and fuel spray from the injectors, basic primary diagnostics.

in the end it was a short under the dash caused by a mouse building a nest

Sounds like a fuel pump issue...when I had my tahoe everything was in working order except no fuel was getting to the engine...she turned over and everything...ask her if she hears the fuel pump turn on when the key is turned...if there isn't a whine the fuel pump may be dead and needs to be replaced.
