Iphone 4s location services grayed out after 9.2

I know I have an iPhone dinosaur but I like my small 4s. Just updated to iOS 9.2 and location services is grayed out. I cannot find any setting or process to restore it. Thanks for any ideas.

MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.2), Trackpad pointer

DId you have restrictions on? I have run into this issue when I have had share my location disabled in restrictions (not in location settings but under restrictions itself). Once I enabled it I was able to see location services again and make changes. Individual apps needed to be allowed again once they were open again, but the the system settings should be visible.

Thanks KoP. The way restrictions works was in a recent "upgrade" and I didn't realize how it worked 100%. I really preferred the way it worked before as it was easier to turn Location Services on or off globally rather than have to go to Restrictions to enable changes and then go back to Location Services to turn it on and v.v. You were correct and I appreciate it.
