Sounds like a dead battery. When you park a vehicle for an extended time period the computers continue to draw power from the battery until the battery is dead. If the battery is 4 or more years old, replace it. If not, fully charge it and have it load tested. If it passes the load test you're all set. If not you need a new battery. The next time you plan on parking the vehicle for an extended time period hook up a battery tender to it. Or, if that's not possible, unhook the negative battery cable. Hope that helps! Jim
