I think you misinterepted the purpose of the test light you are not using it to send power thru the curcuit, you are only using as a device to see if there is a draw on that curcuit. The light it going in line between the battery cable end and the battery terminal, so you are not sending any power into the curcuit only monitoring if there is a draw or not. I and many other mechanics have been using this simple test for better than 30 years and unless you are sending power with the test light you can not damage anything that I know of.

I'm still working on a battery drain issue myself. One culprit was a sticky middle dome light switch and another was the security system lock issue.
Someone mentioned the ABS system... should I hear an incredibly faint sound coming from the ABS modulator when the truck is off and the hood is open? I can hear mine if I get close enough.

I know it is not causing a drain on mine because twice I have left it in an airport parking lot for a week, and returned to have no problems starting. And, that's with a 4+ year old crappy Auto Zone battery which came with the vehicle.
