Your problem has to be in the wiring IMHO. If I understand you correctly, with fuse out it freewheels. (It should.) With fuse in it immediately goes into overdrive, even at a standstill. (Do you hear the relay and solenoid click?) With the fuse in, nothing should happen at standstill, it should have no power to activate the overdrive until 28 mph.

Do we have a terminology issue here? Freewheeling is NOT overdrive. If you reach 30 mph, the freewheeling stops when you let off the accelerator, you are IN overdrive. Sorry if I have misinterpreted what you said and how the car acts.
