Mine is an 06, but it's worth a try. You said you checked that the harnesses were secured, right? Well, I did the same when I did mine, and they felt like they snapped in place, but they don't go in all the way. I don't want to insult your intelligence, but you need to push the plug far beyond the first resistance felt.
I looked at the readings using Cipher when I had the light problem, and it sounds like your findings; plugged them correctly, and light gone.

Good luck! I hope it works.
I can see the days in the future if you trip a cel due to emission parts the government will send you a fix a ticket. After getting the ticket you will have to appear in court to prove that the issue has been fixed. It sounds ridiculous, but with GPS systems and ECU's becoming more advanced it is not unbelieable.

After 15 miles the ECU was already putting up a "pending" (MIL, but no light yet since it's pending): P0420. 25 miles we've got another pending: P2A03.
Ok... got that. Put stuffing back in the non foulers, cleared the codes... Same drive cycle. 33 miles later, no codes (not even pending). Obviously if there was a problem with the front O2 sensors P2A03 would already be pending...
Go figure?

Update:
Throwing code P2A00, now we're getting somewhere
I changed positions of the rear O2's last time I was under the car. Bank 2's went to Bank 1, and vice versa. No longer throwing P2A03 (bank 2 sensor 1 circuit), but P2A00 (bank 1 sensor 1 circuit).
Guess someone at the shop that put my TP's on fugged up my sensor? Dropped it or fugged up the harness? Hm...

Yeah it is very possible the sensor is damaged.

I recently started throwing a p1168 about every 500-600 miles (A/F sensor circuit malfunction, closed loop control, bank 2). It's happened three times so far. With about 5000 miles on my high flow cats. Guess I need to check the wiring harness & connections and/or get some non-foulers. :-(
Fun fun...
