If its still under warranty, letting them keep it till its fixed might not be very nice from a riding standpoint.
But they should get a chance to fix it, and get it on record that there is a problem.
That way if it recurs later on even if its out of warranty they may still be liable for any repairs or parts that may be needed.

Believe me, if you think things got a bit strange from a pinched wire.
You ain't seen nothin until you see what kind of strange if not outright bizarre things a corroded wire can do to a circuit.
Not to mention trying to find the bad wire even if you KNOW its the problem is a real SOB.

After you paint the wires, out the tape back on and bundle it with a zip tie or two in where it can't be squashed again and you should be good for a long time.
Went for two hour cruise yesterday and happy to report .....zero issues.! I am convinced that the seat was squashing the harness with approx.4 different wires in it.
Thanks everyone.
