possible electrical problem 850 1997

Good question. Humidity can change conductivity, especially if there is some corrosion or tarnish on some of the contacts. My experience with electrical problems on old cars is that 99% of the time, the problem is caused by bad contacts or bad grounds.

The exception is when the wiring is disintegrating as with the mid-1980s 240 cars. In that case, you need more than clean contacts!
