Just guessing here but maybe you can disconnect the battery, turn on your headlights to make sure you drain any residual power out of the system and then hook your battery back up. Maybe the Computer needs reset.

disconeccting the battery for 10-15 min. will usualy rest the computer. DW

Try to do all the work your self, most likely they have no idea what there talking about, and either way, its way too expensive.

Just grab a book and do a diag. on it.
