iPhone 6S on 11.3. I just replaced the rear camera assembly and the front camera+light sensor+earphone assembly with third-party parts (on a moving train, I might brag). Everything works except the auto-brightness setting disappeared. I did Erase Settings and it's still gone. I'm wondering if:

- I didn't place the light sensor correctly

- I touched it/ruined it

- the part is defective

- Erase All Content & Settings options is absolutely necessary

It does sound like your ALS (Ambient Light Sensor) isn't connected correctly. I'd suggest reseating all the little connectors!
