Dead 850 850 1996

The 850's are VERY prone to warped glove box doors that don't shut the light off when closed. If you just make a couple short 5 mile or so trips every day then the light's going to run your battery down in a few days even if it's new. The normal current flow with everything shut off is about 35 milliamps. Just tape a penny to the inside of the glove box door where it pushes on the light switch rod.
