Headlights don't work

I bought my 2005 f150 three years ago and the auto headlights never worked. I have just turned them on manually. Couple weeks ago they started to delay coming on and now they do not work at all. All other lights work including fog lights.
Any ideas on the cause?

Most likely cause is a bad sun-load sensor. Sounds crazy, but that is an HVAC sensor that is also tied to the auto headlights. Less likely would be a bad switch.
