Thank you for the knowledge Qsilver7. I have an 04 so it definitely goes to sleep and the park indicator goes off as does the rear window lock light on the door switch. This provided a quick peek into my sleeping issues when I had them. I could just look through the window and see if she was sleeping or not. From reading the post you provided it looks like this change occurred in 2003 models. Learning everyday!
