Do you have automatic headlights (to turn on at night) and does that feature work? IIRC that works off of the same sensor.

The sensor # is 2C3Z-13A018-AB

If you do have auto headlights and that feature is working, then the ambient light sensor is working. So then, your issue could be with the light intensity switch "wheel" on the dash.

Please keep us informed of your fix!
