I suspect all the ECU does is switch it to ground - so it really doesn't
know if it's working or not, and current does not flow through an ECU
circuit.
I would still make it so whatever you do is not connected at all to the
ECU. Better safe than sorry. Unplug original connector, get a spare
one, and run a fused wire to ignition power (coil?) and a ground wire
through your switch.
