Default Auto headlight sensor

Does anyone know where the sensor is for the auto headlights? I just had my windshield replaced, and when the headlights are on auto, they always stay on. Wondering if the sensor is dirty, but I cant find it. Thought it was on the back of the rearview, but that just seems to dim the mirror.

There should be a camera/sensor in the center of the windshield, right behind the rearview mirror. You can see it from the outside. Sometimes there is a light sensor in the dash, in the center.

Yup, that is there. Not dirty...wonder if there was a lead or something that was supposed to be connected when the windshield went in that wasnt

That's what I'm afraid of, for you too.
