Keep blowing Fuel Pump fuse because of heated 02?

I keep blowing my fuel pump fuse and was wondering if it was because of my heated o2 sensor. I just switched to a heated o2 and wired it to the fuel pump wire that has power. Could this be enough to blow the fuse? If so, where should I wire it?

I assume you wired it to the small wire on the relay that turns on the relay.
( Comes from Ign switch )
Should be on the large wire that is turned on by relay .( the one that runs to fuel pump)

If you have it on E terminal then it is wired direct to battery and O2 heater never turns off.
Will run your battery flat if you leave it long enough.
Should be on "switched " side of pump relay ; terminal A
so is only powered up when the pump running.

Which pump fuse is blowing ; the one in the fuse panel?

Its the fuse in the fuse box that keeps blowing. (just noticed 20amp fuse for the turn signals is blowing as well). I switched it over to terminal A and it still blows the fuse. Is the 10amp fuse not enough or is something else causing this?
