the fixture expands from the heat generated by the bulb. so it contracts as it cools
You have a bad connection somewhere.
when you have your lights on, if you pull the switsh outwards, this will turn your fog lights on, the bulb is just to tell you your fog light are on.
This sounds very strange. You should not have an unswitched bathroom light. Replace fixture with one with a pull chain. Turn breaker off before changing the fixture.
The sensing unit on the fixture is thinking that it is night time. If your fixture has a switch before the light, that has to be left on for the sensor to work, try the following. Turn the fixture off with the switch and leave it off for about ten minutes. Turn the switch back on and the fixture will turn on. If the sensor circuitry is working the fixture will turn off after your "delay on" setting is reached. If there is no switch before the fixture check to see if the sensor has been covered, fooling the sensor into thinking it is night time. If it is a hollow tube type sensor, sometimes hornets will lay an egg in there and cover the sensor with a mud patch. As a last resort change the sensitivity control so that is senses daylight sooner, allowing the sensor to shut off earlier. If none of the above work its time to buy a new sensor. These can be bought individually and installed into the old fixture.

how do you turn a light sensor on, on a outdoor wall light fixture
Short to Ground Replace fuse with a test light Turn on lights test light will illuminate Check each fixture individually until test light goes out (current flow stops). This will indicate which fixture or wiring is bad. be sure to check parking, tail, and license plate lights also
turn it on
you click on the light and it should turn on
If you consider using area lighting to ward off intruders as an alarm device, then a dusk to dawn light fixture can be in this category. The light fixture has a sensor that monitors the ambient light level. When the light level drops below a certain set point the circuit closes and the light fixture will turn on. Usually in these types of fixtures there is also a sensor that can detect infra red images of moving people and animals. The two internal devices and connected in series with one another so that the fixture becomes energized but does not light the lamp when it gets dark and will turn the lamp on in the fixture if an infra red image is detected.
The lights on the Sidekick simply twist out from the rear of the fixture. Open the hood, unplug the wiring assembly, and twist the light bulb assembly about a 1/4 turn. You can then pull the light from the headlamp housing.

A catchy slogan for turning off the lights is "Be bright, turn off the light".
A light switch turns on lights because when flipped, it completes a complete circuit.
Turn off the lights! ;)
Probably not.
