If this is true, the next step that I'd do is measure pin 1 to a good ground. If the voltage is close to battery voltage then you know that the other wire or connections are suspect.
For reference, do this procedure to a known good sensor and you will know what you are looking for.
What is the measured voltage at the fuse, and across the battery? I haven't looked at the wiring diagram yet, but this will give a good start on diagnosing the wiring.
Does anyone bother reading posts prior to replying? He's past that part already.
