I checked with the voltmeter yesterday and there is no actual drop in voltage. Just a funky gauge.

yeah that sounds like what mine does. I haven't bothered to look into it further, if you find something let me know.

Did you use an analog meter or digital? Analog is better for tracking quick movements, digitals have a bad delay in them and can skip recording the momentary drops.

Mine does it too, i'm pretty sure its just current drop along the line, i can run 50a directly off the battery and the needle will move less than when i have my blinkers on. it seems almost like a delay of power.. could be a relay going or something mabye.. mines done it for years though so i'm not worried.
