It sounds like the insulation on the wire from the ignition switch to the starter solenoid has been damaged and is now making contact with the power wire for the O2 sensor heater.
Idealy you should trace the starter solenoid wire and find where it's been damaged, but as a temp measure you could run another wire from the ignition switch to the starter solenoid and insulate the faulty solenoid wire.
