Interesting. Many years ago Volkslogger had a similar issue and it is

Wait, don't all other instrument "see" the capacitor in LX9000 as well?
It
does not matter where the capacitor is physically, it still supplies
current to the whole circuit (which is closed, apart for batteries for a
short while)?

The Schottky Diode mentioned is there to prevent this. It isolates the
instrument and it's capacitor from the rest of the instruments.

12v----diode-----instrument/capacitor.
