Default 98 Durango 5.9 voltage draw

My battery went stone dead on my truck so I wasn't sure if it was cooked or a voltage draw. I took it out and replaced it with another one. I checked to make sure no obvious lights were on. In the morning this battery was dead too. How do I check for a voltage draw? The only thing electrical that doesn't work are the daytime running lights that haven't work for a year now. About 4 years back I had to replace the module because the running lights stayed on even with the key off. Help please.

Thanks. The problem/draw was the rear wiper. I noticed that when I turned it on the wiper didn't work so I manually moved it and it worked after that. I guess it was frozen when I used it last and some how that keeps something open to drain the voltage.
