I also don't understand. What is actually happening when you join both wires on a single post?
You're just bypassing the ammeter in the circuit. Moving one wire from its post to the other post (doesn't matter which) will route the current straight from one wire to another, so if the ammeter is the source of the problem, that will cure it.
