Does it stay on for more than a few seconds? Mine remains on as I am walking away from the locked car but it turns off within maybe 10 seconds.

And for the springs.....IF it currently has Airmatic suspension Arnott makes a good conversion kit to change from airmatic to traditional style suspension.

That typically means something isn't going to "sleep". And or you have a current draw.

I guess it just takes a bit to turn off but came out to go to the store and it was off.
