Default ECU Problem?

Hi

I am worried that I may have a problem with my ECU from it being flooded by water. Why do I think this well....
  • Bulbs will suddenly work, then not work then work again and so foruth
  • When I put lights on recently all of the dash e.g. Message Centre, radio, climate control screen etc.... all get very dark the radio gets so dark it's almost impossible to read
  • Misfire which isnt caused by spark plugs, HT leads

I think that it may be flooded because I get condensation at the very bottom of my windscreen every morning, which I think is caused by flooded Lower Plenum Drain being flooded.

I would like to have a look however I am worried of breaking something in the process of getting to the lower plenum drain, I have printed off the instructions from the club website, however am still a little bit worried about breaking something.

So main two questions are:
Could it be possible my ECU has/is flooded?
Is there really anything I can actually accidently do damage to in the process of getting to the Lower Plenum drain to check it?

Regards
Tom
