My 1995 f150 battery keeps dying when truck sits over night. You can take off the negative terminal and put a test light between it and the negative post of the battery and when any light is turned on( head lights, blinker, interior light)the test light shows a draw but when the vehicle light goes off a small draw remains on the test light which kills the battery. What could cause this?

How is the battery? With most vehicles now a days there is a little draw on the battery when the vehicle is shut off. This draw keeps the ecm memory and also there is a little draw that keeps your radio stations stored along with the clock. Did you notice when you disconnected the battery that you had to reset your radio stations and clock, that is where there is a little voltage draw. Have the battery checked to see if it is getting weak.
