A fluctuation of only about .3 volts is perfectly normal when the turn signals are flashing. What you’re seeing is the temporary loading and unloading of your electrical system. Load increases when the lights are on. Load decreases when the lights blink off. Your voltage regulator adjusts the output to the battery with each blink. You can do the same thing by manually flipping your headlights on and off rapidly or tapping your brake pedal.
Nothing to worry about here.
If your alternator wasn’t properly grounded, it wouldn’t charge your battery properly and your volt gauge would not show the 14.5 volts that you’re showing.
