^^+1
dont ever start where the dealer say's. always start at the most possible basic thing.
you'll find 1 or 2 sometimes 3 fuse boxes under the hood. on the bottom of the covers they are normaly labled what fuse or relay is what. find the one your looking for, if it sounds like of little box of rocks when you shake it, it's done for sure. but like shawn said it's possible for it to be stuck on. so go to the parts store switch it out to see if it fix'es the issue. is not no big deal. you can return it or keep it for the future. and if your check engine light is on, just take it to an auto parts and get it scaned. that could also tell you what the deal is. just giving you a place to start.

you can't see a stuck relay, it will look fine.
