Default Heat causing battery drain!?

So yeah, I’m posting about this a little late but it’s been about a month without heat and I can’t take it anymore! Basically, I parked my truck to wash it, got it all washed up, and then it wouldn’t start, it had power to the cluster, but the battery drained in a matter of 35-45min, odd, so I thought it could be the battery so I charged it up, and it started, so I moved the truck parked it, and came out 30 min later to make a grocery run, and boom, dead again, finally after much much pulling and starting and pulling and starting, I found out it was something to do with the heat, so I pulled the fuse to the whole heat/ac system (for just the front of the cab, so the rear seat heat/ac works) And now the battery holds a charge, ive gone too long without heat and it’s been mid to low 30’s at best lately, anyone got some advice as to where I should start?

Yes, you pulled fuse #11...ABS valve. On lefthand page, showing fuse box...#1 starts at the bottom and #16 is at the top.
