Default So my passenger secondary O2 sensor wire melted against the downpipe, need suggestions

I am not sure how bad it is, i'm thinking of splicing it all together...the O2 sensor only has 10K miles on it.

If that doesnt work, can i just disconnect the O2 sensor in the engine bay?? Its driving me crazy to drive around without boost since fuse 34 is blown from the shorted O2 wires.

What are the rear O2s for anyway?

Default rear o2's are supposed to be used in conjuntions with the primary O2's when in closed loop

to help maintain stoich. It's fine to run without them however, but you will throw a CEL.
