Electrical problem, consult dealer?

I am having trouble with my electrical system. Somewhere, the wiring harness is shorting out and frying my ECU. I have put in a new computer and it runs for about a week and a half before it dies. Well, since the last toasted computer, I have called the dealer (who installed a NEW harness just about 2 years/12,000 miles ago) and the bastards want me to "Bring it in". I have a new ECU but the real question is, should I take it the the dealer or should I try to find someone who can work on automotive electrical systems?

The mazda dealership? thats probably the biggest problem you have. Thats the last place to take your car ever. I bet there is someone there who's paid to just break things everytime you "take it in"
