Unhappy 98 battery drawing down

Hi I'm a newbie to boxsters and this forum. My battery draws down overnight, alternator is charging at 13.4 volts. I put an amp meter between the battery and ground and have 25 amp draw. Pulled very fuse and the draw stayed the same. Access alternator and disconnected the battery cable and there is no more draw. Does this indicate a faulty alternator. Thanks in advance for any help.

Or a failed ign switch. The ignition switch is a common failure and inexpensive fix. Process of elimination works. Trace the current loss and you will find it.
