Jaguar Encoder issuse

Well first of all we upgraded to the MDL-BDC v. 101 that was released recently on all of our jaguars. We have 4 of them and we are using CAN to drive, the issue is that 3 out of 4 jaguars are not receiving any encoder input when debugging using MDL-BDC Comm. Jaguars 1,3, and 4 are Black, Jaguar 2 (the one that works) is Grey. Now, the encoder that worked on Jaguar 2 was plugged in on Jaguars 1,3 and 4 and it worked fine. However the encoders on Jaguars 1,3, 4 were plugged in on Jaguar 2 and it did not work. We know the wires are proper and the encoders are working perfectly because we ran continuity tests on all the wires as well as used an oscilloscope to test the encoder signals, so we know the encoders, their mounts and their wiring is all proper. Not to mention we know the 3 black jags are capable of reading the inputs because we tested using the proven working encoder. Does anyone have any idea why the other 3 encoders are not working? Are we doing something wrong? Thank You!
