This is simple enough to correct. As you have mentioned, and I have done
exactly that. Simply wire in an additional relay, using your reverse lights
as a trigger to disengage OD. This means as soon as you put the lever in
the reverse gate, OD will be disengaged... simple, inexpensive, and very
effective.
