Thought about the voltage regulator, but....

the guys at SAAB measured the load voltage coming from the alternator and couldn't find anything special. Then again, I figure the load current to the battery is not regulated back to 12V, is it?. But else,
1. why does this only ocurr at cold startup? Battery probably drawing peak current, causing the regulator to fail temporarily? When switched back on again, the display shows an innocent 13.8 load current
2. Why does it always last exactly for around 1 minute and then goes back to normal? Is there a relay that switches (part of) the current off in case of overload, and does it have some sort of time delay?
3. Why is it *always & only* the *! front right dip that blows? (You know, that one behind the AC comp.)
Many thanks, think I'll replace it anyway, did 170k miles already.
