Pretty easy and fun to find out what it is... Do some simple amp draw tests-- or even easier- pull the inline fuses for the remote start one night-(they will be on the red wires leading to the main brain box- under the dash- see if truck starts in the morning....if it does- it is the remote- if not look elsewhere..With amp-draw test you need to put a DVM inline with the battery and start pulling fuses one at a time- until you find which circuit is draining you-- Only need to look at battery "hot" circuits-
