First have the battery load tested. Most Auto Zones or whatever can do it right in the truck or pulled out for free.

Second you could pull the harness that plugs into the transmission and see if it stops to help isolate the issue.

Could be a burnt wire touching ground so be on the look out. Do you have the amount being drawn?

Sounds like a bad cluster. Check Ebay.
