Battery dead next morning.

I am 90% sure this is your problem, OP.

I was having drain issues after I put in an AUX fusebox wired directly to the battery, even though the things running off of it had individual switches. I would suggest adding in a switchable breaker to turn that off when the truck is not in use.. or possibly an ignition relay for the fusebox.

Interesting. I have a bussmann breaker installed. I had this same set up before but was having the pre wires harness. Now it's all the same just everything in one spot.
 
Ok if it beeps, then you know that the fuse is still good. This setting was only for checking the fuse. You need to go back to my older posts and setup your volt meter exactly how I showed you (picture and diagram) and test for how many amps it is drawing. If you first test on that 10A setting and it shows 0.0, switch it over to the mA setting (again, as I explained in previous posts).

Good luck

I went and replaced my multi meter. Because I had warranty. I set it up with red wire in the 10A slot. Turned the meter to 10A. Had the negative battery cable of the battery terminal. Did like stated in previous post. Negative probe wire to negative battery terminal and positive to the lose battery terminal. It read 0.072A Is that good ? So far truck has been starting every morning.

Glad you got the meter all figured out.

.072 amps is a bit high, its not crazy high but it generally shouldn't be quite that high. I would pull fuses and see what makes it drop and investigate.

Be sure that everything is off and no doors/lights are open or on.

I don't consider 72 milliamps excessive at all. Yes you would prefer less than 50, but I've seen 60-80 on cars with NO problems. Also, be sure to wait to test until all modules have gone to sleep, not sure how long that is on our rigs. Hook up to test and walk away, come back 15 minutes later and recheck the reading.
