Going to take it apart again and see if I can find anything. Is there a way to test the sensor?

You do not say if your fixture has only one bulb.
A bulb can stop working with the filament still intact so that is will work sometimes. Try easy first and take a bulb you know is good and install it. If, you have replaced your bulbs with the LEDs they fail weird. It could work sometimes and then not work other times.
Truth, my neighbor with a three bulb fixture replaced the sensor
and then discovered that all three bulbs were blown. As to testing the sensor, you could easily by pass the sensor and see if the lights light.
