Hi Scott; yes, the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195 is designed to go to sleep after 15 minutes. It will wake up and the screen will come on if it senses any movement. Take a look through your window after enough time has passed and see if the screen is off. Opening the door to check it can be enough to wake it up so that may be what you're experiencing. I wouldn't worry too much about it draining the battery unless you're keeping your vehicle parked and unused for unusually long periods of time.

Great. Thanks for the info. I did notice it would go off eventually but noticed it came back on easily. That definitely explains it
