Glove box light is a common problem w/ the 850's. The door warps and the light stays on when closed. If the car isn't driven much it will drain the battery. Try taping a penny to the inside of the door in front of the switch.

Just follow "hamfisted"s advice, but bear in mind that it's possible that a small load may not make a fuse noticeably warm, but can still run the battery down overnight. In that case, you'll have to track down the culprit.

This is such a common problem in this world of electronic automotive systems, that there are a few products on the market which monitor the voltage of the battery at all times, and if it falls below a certain level (somewhere around 10.5 volts), they disconnect the battery automatically (requiring a manual "reset"), preserving enough power to start the car.

Good luck

Do you have an amp meter? If it's killing the battery in one day you should be able to find it with an amp meter. If you don't have one you can still find the draw by feeling the fuses and see which one is warm or hot compared to the others. Do you see any interior lights on if you look for them at night? Glove box light? Trunk light? Maybe even the car alarm could be doing it. But if you feel a fuse that's obviously warmer than all the others in the fuse panel take a look at what it powers, and if possible pull that fuse overnight and see how it does.
