Best Answer

Current going through the circuit that energizes the flasher device for the blinkers takes away from the current available to go through the circuit that includes the amp gauge. The flasher takes a more current than you might expect, as it is heating a bimetalic strip that makes/breaks the bulb circuit, and heating always consumes lots of power.
