I need some help with a motion sensor flood light outside

I have an outdoor motion sensor flood light on the back porch, nothing fancy, one of those $20 things you can find on Amazon. It's mounted to the ceiling of the back porch.


Anyway, it won't come on now. I replaced a bulb which was burnt out and for some reason, it came on yesterday during all that rain. So there's obviously electricity going to it.


I got up there and switched the switch on the motion sensor itself to "test" and walked around out in the yard and it still wouldn't come on.

So I got up on a ladder and took the plastic housing, for the motion sensor only, apart and it came on when I messed with the wires.

Is there a way to just bypass the sensor? I assume the light would stay on all the time, I don't know of any wall switch that controls it.


Or would it be easier just to replace the whole thing with a new flood light/motion sensor fixture?

Thanks in advance, electric gurus.
