Start by suspecting a bad battery or a bad charging system. Check battery voltage with cables off and see if it reads 12.6V. You probably just have a dead battery. I really can't believe you can measure 1 ma. Also a "1" is displayed on some meters to mean "open circuit". A reading of 1 ma is ZERO drain. ESD can be measured in amps or volts using a multimeter. Hope you do not have some fancy modern thing in your truck, that you forgot, and has a light or hold up in it as Shakey said. Anything that will display time or date has a hold up. Theft system has a hold up. Music/USB/GPS/radar detector ports may have drain. Right is right, even if everyone is against it, and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it. - William Penn
