[Shotimes] Quirk, or "feature"?

[Carl Prochilo]

Okay, it's on the same circuit.  The fact of the matter is that using the
interior light switch is something I rarely do, so it's not a big deal to
me.

Now, the 92 seat is actually missing the occupant sensor switch so your
trick wouldn't work for me.  Yes, I know I can add it myself, just not a
priority.  I prefer having the locks on, so that's why I connected the
circuit.  It turns out to be rare that I will start the car and not have
to go through reverse.
