Default electrical issues.. aaaaaarrrrgggghhh!!!

i have a 2000 durango 5.9. there was a power steering leak for some time on the high pressure hose.. which in turn saturated the whole front left side of my engine compartment...i finally fixed the hose, but i am having some kind of electrical issue... p0132, and p0135 have come up for some time(02 sensors i believe )..so i changed both sensors .this cleared only one code p0135....
p0132 stayed.can someone tell me please which wire harness i need to replace, because this is my next guess at what I'm going to replace..ive read a lot of things about power steering fluid shorting out this "black wire" which is somehow connected to the 02 sensors.. i really hope someone can tell me about this...thanks you all so much!

if you follow the wires from the O2 sensor and simply CLEAN all plugs and connections and wires it should take care of the short, no need to replace the wire harness (which iirc you can replace just that part unless you splice it)

Ya, you can clean each harness with contact cleaner (aerosol) and then use electrical contact grease to reseal the connections. It also could be a bad O2 sensor, I only get NTK and Desno O2 sensors.
