Why does my outdoor motion-sensored lights stay on?

I just came home for college on Thanksgiving break and somehow my parents did something and now the outdoor motion-sensored lights stay on no matter what when you flip the switch to turn them on, instead of them going off after a min and staying dark until it's activated by motion. I thought I could flip the switch twice and reset it but it's not working, any other ideas?Why does my outdoor motion-sensored lights stay on?One more thought there is a manual switch on most of those style lights in case you want to use it like a normal light. you might want to look at the light and make sure it is on "motion"Why does my outdoor motion-sensored lights stay on?Flip the switch and leave it off for a couple minutes. Not really sure why they do that, but I had the same problem in the last place I lived. Turned out to work well when I needed the lights for something, I just flip the switch and flip it back real quick, and they stayed on. Turn it off, wait a couple minutes, turn it back on, and they reset to motion sensors.Why does my outdoor motion-sensored lights stay on?Check the motion sensor. There may be dirt or bird poop on it. There also should be a switch on your light fixture itself that may have been changed or the reset button. Maybe the local squirrels want to see what is going on at night.
