My outdoor security light is no longer coming on

I have an outdoor security light on yhe front of my house. I've had this light for many years, it is a motion sensor so it only comes on at night when someone comes near the light. I am not sure why it is no longer working, I thought the light bulbs blew out so I purchased 2 new light bulbs and it still isn't working. Is this normal? Do I need to replace the entire fixture?

replace the fixture after checking power feeds.

Have you had any power fluctuations recently? Older fixtures can be programed several ways: react to the sensor, always on or always off. Flipping the switch on/off in certain combinations sets the mode and power hits can do this programming.

Mine used to change the setting when it was flipped on/off/on/off within 4 seconds, with each sequence changing the light to the next setting.
