Unhappy idle problem

Hello, my 85 325E is blowing fuse #9 frequently, I have run diagnostics on all related sensors and wiring, installed spare ECU , cleaned out idle valve on engine, and adjusted the TPS. all check fine.
the idle is running about 2500 rpm until I replace the fuse, then back to normal. standing alone at idle it will run for about 4 minutes until the fuse blows, or about 30 sec. if driving. Please help.
Mike

I was going to post that you should try replacing the relay, but looks like you figured it out before I could post.

Yes, when looking at the diagram from bmw of Ann Arbor, i realized that on ly adirect short / load over 15a could blow the fuse, so checked all direct loads on that circuit. ( elect. 101 ) i believe.

This sounds weird, but today I unplugged the O2 sensor, no more problem......idle is fine except a little rough from rich condition. possibly a bad replacement sensor? it was bosch 3 wire universal type.
???

I have heard of rare cases where a bad o2 sensor can cause a bad idle...
