I put this together to help me get the sensors right.
Hopefully this will help anyone looking for answers to this is you are buy NON OEM sensors.
NOTE: some of the kits come with 2 browns and a white. So be aware of that when ordering.

If this is incorrect some one LMK.
THIS IS MY FIRST ATTEMPT at this.

Thanks for sharing. Is this an aftermarket kit? Who makes it?

ebay sells alot of them. I think i paid $40 shipped. for all 5.

I couldn't find one post that had the answer to what I was looking for so I had to put something together. I basically did this so I could print it and have it out there with me. when I installed them.

Update.
light is still blinking but I've realized I'm locked in 4x4.
once I started googling LOCKED in 4X4 info started pushing me to the front Dif. sensor.

I have changed all 5 sensors on the transfer case and the 2 solenoid valves by the air box.
when I disconnect the hoses can here is the air sound. translation = no leaks in the line.

I'm really hoping this front DIF sensor will do the trick.

Well
the New front dif. switch didn't work either.
I'm about at my wits end with this.

I have started looking up Pajero for information. There is a lot more info on that name than just Montero.
This new information is pointing me to the the actuator shaft being stuck.
Now whether it's
-stuck due to lack of use
-dirty(It's a city truck so it shouldn't be filled with mud)
-the actuator being bad.

Time will tell( I hope)

*** I don't thing its a vacuum leak as I can hear the "pssssh" sound when I disconnect the hoses...

Actuator being "stuck" due to not being used is fairly frequent issue. That's why they say - you need to "exercise" the system once in awhile... When you replaced front diff sensor, did you check oil level/condition?

It was low on dif. oil so I added some to top it off. made no difference.
I should add It was running just fine in 2wd until I changed the timing belt and was cleaning up the built up oil/ sludge from all the seal leaks.
like I said before I was trying the eBay sensors from china so IDK if they work or not. so I'm going with OEM since I found them in UK for $90 shipped.
versus he 5 sensors are about $350 at the dealer.
found them on US eBay for $290.
Now I'll know the 5 NEW OEM parts wont be the issue and can focus on the other things if this doesn't fix it.

should be here first of the year.
