car won't start 850

Frosty ignition switch is certainly an oddity. The best way to diagnose battery drain is to put an ammeter between the battery and one of the cables. Start pulling fuses one at a time until the current drain drops off. There's always a small ammount. Common 850 problem is a warped glove box door that allows the light to stay on all the time. This will run the battery down if the car's no driven much.
