auto headlight question

So my auto headlights just decided not to work. Headlights nor dash lights work. But headlights dash lights turn on when I manually turn on. Is this a fuse issue or is it switch??

It's hard to say, I'm not sure how to test the sensor itself but that's where I'd start if it was my truck.

Covering the sensor is not the problem, but you did not mention if this is happening in the day or at night.

My autolamps will not turn on in the daylight unless I cover the sensor, and release the emergency brake.
