OK, there's your problem. You can disconnect that wire from the drive,
and see if the
encoder works with the drive not loading it down. If so, something may
have blown
out that input on the drive. If not, then that output of the encoder is
probably bad.
Since one of the encoder phases is working, it is not a problem with
needing a
pull-up resistor or some similar thing.
