When mine was playing up I got underneath the vehicle and slid back the rubber cover on the actuator shaft so I could see it and then got someone in the drivers seat and got them to move it in and out of 2H to 4H and back again.

Engine needs to be running so you need to yell prtty loud to get them to hear you :lol:

Then you can see if that part is working. You can also try and move it by hand if you pull the air lines off.

Could pull the air lines off and check there is vacuum - it will change from one line to the other as it goes between 2H and 4H.

If the shaft is definitely moving the whole way, then sounds like actuator, vac lines are all good, and that the system is pretty much working, so should be fine to drive around like that.
So you said you checked the sensor switch that screws into the diff housing? Check it again maybe? Should just unscrew from the diff housing, and unplug from a connection on the frame. Hook a multi-meter and check the switch is opening/closing. Last likey thing if that's all fine is wiring - I'd be suspicious of the plug/socket where the sensor switch connects onto the vehicle loom. It's quite low down perhaps as filled with crap and corroded a bit...
