I'm betting that I don't understand how this works, and was wondering if somebody who actually has the part knows how it would work.

This was exactly our concern when we sat down to wire it up the first time. Fortunately, the PCM is monitoring the current on the compressor and each of the solenoid channels and will disable the channel temporarily if then current is too high. I have not heard of a blown fuse on the PCM yet.
