I sold my 986 years ago. I changed the ignition switch multiple times.

When they fail, they do very strange electrical things (like leaving lights on even after you lock the car) which could drain your battery randomly...

Also check to see a light isn't on after you lock the car. Look at the car in the dark.
Sometimes the little sensor sticks and the light stays on. Check that the frunk light is out. I used to put my 5 year old in it...LOL (just kidding)...

Good luck.
