I have one of those motion sensor triggered secruity lights. Its
cheap enough ($20) to just replace but I hate to add anything to the
dump if it needs only a simple fix. The problem is that its always
on and can only be shut off from the wall switch. It does not
respond to any of the three control setting dials. What is the likely
problem and what's the part to check?

I have a few of these units. I've never have one that works all the
time. If you use the wrong bulb on some types then it will not work.
You need something like 70-100Watts. If the sensor window/rain
shield is dirty, leaking air or reflecting heat from else where then it
will stay on. Make sure you turn the sensitivity dial all the way down.
