The person with 30 posts whose advice you're blindly following without him pointing to any evidence versus Maj. Dundee who is a veteran expert and mechanic on these trucks and told you exactly what to test for.
Good luck!
Major never claimed the aftermarket switches are worse than the OEMs. He said nothing about it, lol. And we know the OEMs don't last long at all.
I think you're making some kind of error in reasoning, an appeal to authority and genetic fallacy. In fact you made the appeal so bad you used it to rationalize something Maj never even said. Lmao. Likely the result of at least one common cognitive bias.
And by the way I pointed to at least two forms of evidence.
It's best that you check the wiring to the sensor first. Also remove the connector and check for corrosion.
If not, then replace the sensor.
I've replaced the sensor. The lights stay on permanently now, as if there's no sensor. The diagnostic tool keeps on popping back up the left front speed sensor even after erasing it.
I checked the wiring that goes to the sensor and it reads 2.3V/2.4V....is that normal?

Where did you buy the sensor, provide the link?
Did you have any difficulty removing or installing the sensor?
In the description of the article I bought on eBay it shows the OE number: (see attached pic) A1635421818. That's where probably the problem is. Is this article for a left-hand driven truck?
The 163 542 18 18 sensor is for your veh. after vin #371935 (the last 6 numbers of your vin#) which does not apply to you. Your vin# is before.
Spot on (once again!) Maj. Dundee...! I received the new sensor this morning, put it on and the lights disappeared finally. Thanks again for your precious help !
