Hi Scotty,
I'm driving a 2007 Toyota fj cruiser base model with 340000 km, automatic, purchased with 220000 km from dealership. I get skin rashes, feeling sick, smell rotten eggs smell, also there is corrosion on the battery side of the vehicle, frame, etc. I've changed the battery and the alternator a couple of times in the last 6 months, one alternator just stopped charging after 2 months and the other started voltage spiking after a month and half. I've had a few mechanics check it saying they can't find a problem with the charging system. I have the vehicle parked with the battery unhook and still opening the hood of the vehicle I get burning skin and rashes and sick, without starting the vehicle, and I just put a new battery in lead acid 2 weeks ago.
thanks
Your charging system more than likely has a problem. It's overcharging the system. You're smelling some kind of sulfide, most likely hydrogen sulfide. Did you purchase your "new" alternator at an auto parts store? if you did, either return it and get a new one, or get your money back and go to RockAuto.com, they have OEM alternators.
they were both remanufactured alternators, from an auto wreckers, I think rock auto sells denso that are new. I've never had an issue like this. can the ecu that's part of the wiring diagram in the charging system cause the over charging??? I've had a battery monitor on the battery for a couple of days and the amps going back to the battery would slow drop to 3 amps and wouldn't go lower, is 3 amps once the battery is charged to high????
Probably, if the battery is fully charged, you can't put more charge into it, it's at its peak capacity.
