You will need to do some troubleshooting to determine if the problem lies with the sensor not detecting motion, or with the lights not turning on. Check all exposed wiring and make sure none of the wire is pinched, damaged, or broken. Also check the power source -- batteries, power cable, etc. -- and make sure everything is connected and working. If you have a multimeter, you can check the signals going to and from the sensor and try to narrow down where the breakdown in communication is occurring.
