That's just it. The factory manual switch -- with or without spring load -- does not blow fuses because once it leaves the center position the power is cut to the TL control switch completely disabling it. Manual switch then provides a ground THRU the limit switches to one of the solenoids to move the car and nothing can happen automatically until the manual switch is back at center.

It is the use of antenna switches or the like that blows the fuse. On those there is no way to disconnect the power to the control switch automatically so the operator needs to remember to turn off the suspension toggle switch when going manual. If he does not then as soon as the time delay kicks in the control switch tries to override a probably still energized manual switch and fuse blows.
