Welcome from Florida. With the fuse out for the lights does your battery hold a charge? Possibly a bad light switch that doesn't disconnect completely and allows partial current to flow, not enough to turn on the lights, but enough to discharge the battery.

Had a draw on my 1998 K-1500. It was the little lamp under the hood. Didn't really need it so I pulled the bulb out
