The Prodigy P3 Brake Controller # 90195 that you referenced is designed to go to sleep after 15 minutes of no activity. You should note that even opening the door to your vehicle will wake it back up. I would recommend letting it sit for about 20 minutes and then looking through the window to see if the controller has gone to sleep. Be sure not to bump the vehicle either.
