If there's enough current draw to make the light burn, or even glow more than dimly, you've got enough parasitic drain to draw the battery down. One common cause of an overnight battery discharge is the rectifier in the alternator. Try disconnecting the big charging wire from the alternator and see if the overnight draw-down stops.
