Check Brake Pads message

I have a 2005 LR3 and replaced the brake pads and sensor(s) but the check brake pad light is still on. I tried the "key in the on position for 45 seconds with doors closed" but this did not clear it. I've also cleared all onboard faults with my OBDII reader.
The new sensor is a little different than the old one. Some plastic ridges on the coupler end of new are missing. This means the part it clips into on the LR3 does not lock into place but it fits snuggley and can only fit one way so I don't believe this is the issue. I called Richmond Landrover (where I got the part) and they validated the part is correct for my LR3.
Any suggestions?

The sensor is ruined when you get down to less than 3ml of pad left or less. You also need to replace the sensor(s) that have been ruined, as well as the brakes, etc.

Check brake pad message update: I talked to the local dealer's part dept and confirmed they sold me the correct part. The parts dept thought the message would go away after it has been driven for "awhile". It's been a few weeks and the message still comes on, but far less frequently. Perhapes once every 15 minutes verses every 30 seconds to begin with. At this rate the message will stop just in time to replace the pads again
.
I'll try putting the old sensor back with the wires taped together and see what happens.
Thanks again for your suggestions.
