Why did I get burned by battery acid both times I got it on my bare skin?

I have had battery acid spill twice on me once a few years ago and the second time today on my bare arms and some on my jeans, it corroded my jeans in about 10 minutes but it didnt even make my arms and hands even slightly red I didnt have a readily accessible water source to wash it off.

What causes the battery light to come on when both the battery and alternator check out okay?

The alternator may be putting out some amps, but the regulator inside is failed. The alternator is the first thing to replace when the battery lamp comes on in these vehicles. Also make sure the battery is not leaking acid. Remove the positive and negative cables from the battery and look for corrosion. If corrision is found, you'll need to replace the battery and also take the battery cable covers off to clean the contact pads down to bare metal. Make sure all corrosion is removed. Russtech67
