Default battery draining problems

Hello everyone. I put two batteries in my truck four months a part from and then would let the truck sit for a week and it wouldn't turn over so i had the alternator tested and it pass so then i did the volt meter test and found that something was pulling almost one amp when it was off and found that the guy that i bought it from had wired the light switch for the offroad lights wrong and it sorted out, so i fix that and something is still pulling power and the positive terminal on the driverside battery corroed in less then three weeks. SOOOO any ideas ?????

Put you meter back on to measure the draw. Start pulling fuses until the draw goes away. Whatever fuse makes it drop off will have the draw.

Ok I think I found my draw but Im not sure can the power in-line to the PDC cause the draw because the nut and bolt that hold the wire tight is stripped and looses up. Now when I let it sit and try to start it, it will click and loses power and when it clicks the positive battery hook up on the driver side will smoke for a sec then stop
