Encoder Breakout Sending signal from fwd limit switch

On our robot there are two limit switches, each with 2 motors connected. Since the motors are opposite each other one switch has the fwd limit of one, and the rev of the other. For some reason on one of the talon breakouts is sending a signal from the fwd switch. When they are both connected to the same 'outlet' on the switch, the motor thinks rev limit switch is true, even though the physical limit switch is false. This problem goes away when only one motor is connected to the physical switch. Any ideas?
