I will second the "let them fix it". Especially as it is electrical. Think of it this way, they do the repair and something shorts out and fries the ECU or burns up the wiring, they pay to repair/replace it.
Now if you trace it out and repair it, and the problem is something else that fries the ECU or worse burns the wiring or car, you get to buy a new car because you are not the authorized repair shop.
Normally the dealer wants to do as little as possible to repair a vehicle, for them to state they need to trace the wiring and the ECU means it probably is not a simple "pop out the bad part and install a new one" repair.
I have spent a day tracing out a short in a vehicle, and discovered it had burnt off a lot of insulation on wires around it.
