Default always blowing fuses

Hi all ok the problem is I have a 1995 3000gt and going down the road the car just died. With some checking out things i finally replaced a fuse under the hood the eci one and then the car started up and then going down the road to take it home it did it again and now when i put a new fuse in it blows as soon as i turn the key on. I have someone that will look at it but he really needs the wiring schematics for it. If anyone has them or might be able to tell us some things to check. Thanks. And i dont know if this has anything to do with it but now the heater does nothing at all

Do you have a check engine light?

You have a short to ground somewhere in the circuit. Have you made any changes to the wiring recently? Added a system, an alarm, did any work around the fusebox?

As you already know im not very mechanical inclined. Thanks so much for your help. And t the other ? there has been no changes made to the car.

As soon as the wires start to fray on the o2 sensor, and they eventually touch, and short.Then it will just kill the fuse and bam.
