The fuse (or circuit breaker) must open the hot line to prevent an unsafe condition resulting from voltage still being present in the circuit. The hot line could short to something and still cause a fire or it could electrocute a person. Just breaking the current loop via the neutral is not enough for safety!
Neutral must never be cut off.
A fuse should always be inserted into the line conductor, never the neutral conductor. If a fuse has been inserted, inadvertently, into the neutral, an overload will still operate the fuse, but the line voltage will not be isolated from the circuit -thus presenting a shock hazard. Furthermore, it will not protect against an earth (ground) fault that occurs in the circuit.
Possibly there is a short in the wiring somewhere or the incorrect amp fuse is being used. Also, the switch itself may be faulty.
To protect a circuit, we use a fuse or circuit breaker. The fuse or circuit breaker must always be placed in the lineconductor, never in the neutral conductor. So, if we want to completely isolate a circuit from the supply, we must remove the fuse from the line conductor, and open the link in the neutral conductor. A 'link' is a non-fusible metal break point in the neutral.
So that the live wire is isolated when the fuse blows. If a fuse was placed in the neutral, the equipment would still be live when the fuse blows.
I had the same problem - check the main 30 amp fuse located under the seat. - not in the fuse box. I had the same problem - check the main 30 amp fuse located under the seat. - not in the fuse box.

The neutral bus
prepare to fry
In case of a fault (short) the device could still be energized even with the fuse blown. this means, a fuse in the neutral would never blow in a fault to ground, resulting in a very dangerous situation.
The neutral safety switch is located, on your 2004 Chevrolet envoy, on the side of the transmission next to the shifting linkage. The safety switch also has a fuse in the fuse box.
link is provided in neutral path of ac supply because it should provide a path for unbalanced currents , if we use fuse ,fuse may blow of and damage the entire system and also unbalanced currents may be more than the fuse rating
