Update:
I removed the dome from its fixed location and took it inside to test it up close. I noticed it was still showing signs of a stuck IRC because it wasn't mechanically making a clicking sound when I would cover it and undercover it to simulate night/day. I then kindly tapped on the lens housing while at the same time rotating it back and forth like a doorknob. I did this for about a 30 seconds or so. I then did a hard reset for good measure. I connected it to my test jumper and voala, it worked. I can now hear the mechanical click sound as it goes from day to night and vise versa. I reinstalled it in its original location and was able to simulate a night to day since it was still daylight out without a problem. Bad news is that I don't know exactly what the did the trick, tapping it or doing a hard reset. Oh well, it works now and thats all that matters
Thank you everyone for your assistance on this!
You guys are awesome! I owe you all a beer! Cheers!!
