I installed a motion sensor with lights and on test it works great but when I moce the selector switch to 1 minute 3 minute or 5 minute for the lights to stay on the unit does not work

"a motion sensor" doesn't tell us much.

First read the directions again carefully, and check your installation.
Then tell us brand and model#, and what wires were on the old switch and how it's hooked up now.

Its an intelectron model bc8920k and I have wired a cord with a male plug on it so I just plug in the lights. So black to black and white to white, with green going to a ground stud in box

And the Google search just comes up with other people who can't make it work either?

Get something else, electricity isn't magic but I do think salesman who sell this fly-by-night junk equipment ARE hypnotists
