filament sensor stuck on 0

I replaced the print head on my i3 mk3s, and the filament sensor now reads 0 regardless of whether there is filament in or not.  The tab moves freely to interrupt the beam, the metal ball moves freely, and I've even tried manually interrupting the beam with a screwdriver, but I just get 0.  I've replaced the sensor chip, and still just get constant 0.  Any ideas?

Wires to the sensor is what I would check first.  Make sure that the polarity of the connector is correct.
