Thanks Bernie (and Bob and DMZ) -
It is a bad rear O2 Sensor (NOT the harness, thankfully). Technically it was the sensor lead, which wore through insulation against the exhaust & transmission case. Somehow a zip tie that used to be there wasn't any more . . . check those when doing other work.
First step in diagnosing, I unplugged the FP only (not the sensor), fuse #15 blew with ignition ON. I unplugged the entire FP harness (the maroon GM sliding lock 9-pin connector), and fuse #15 blew with ignition ON. Then I measured resistance for all nine pins of FP harness to ground. There are only two of the nine that are fully "open", and I was worried. I measured the #15 fuse lower connector resistance to to ground, and that was about 20 Ohms (at least it was definitely NOT open circuit).
Then I removed both O2 Sensor connectors and measured resistance to engine ground for all four pins of each. Both circuits the same - two open, two in the k-Ohm range. Then I measured the pins of the sensors versus ground, and there I found a difference. All four pins for O2 sensor 1 were open circuit with respect to engine ground, but for sensor 2, two pins (heater circuit) were 10 Ohms or less vs ground. I left sensor 2 unplugged and measured the lower connection for fuse #15 versus engine ground, and NOW that pin was at open circuit vs ground. I reinstalled the brake booster vacuum line and left only O2 sensor 1 plugged in. I re-connected the FP harness, and the engine started right up. I cycled the switch several times and did not blow fuse #15.
I already have two new O2 sensors coming (Bosch OE).
I'm REALLY grateful for the help, guys !
