Ummm... I always keep my 98’ plugged into its own battery tender when I’m not driving it....so my battery never drains no matter a parasitic drain or not and my battery typically lasts at least 8 yrs.

Having said that I suppose you could pull the fuse, make sure the battery is fully charged and just let it sit and check the battery voltage after 3-4-5-6 days.

A possibility could be your ignition switch.... not the tumbler section but the electrical switch at the end of the tumbler section.
There are lots of threads and videos available on DIY “ignition switch” replacements. From what I understand it’s a VERY common issue. The switch controls a lot of electrical items in the car.........

I bet that’s your issue.
