Okay. Just to confirm you had no voltage at the encoder, but do you still hear the clicking? When you checked the voltage which wires did you check? The highlighted wires below?
If you had no voltage, then the source of the voltage would be the issue which in this case would be the control module.
However, I would use the second diagram and check the voltage at the module when you are changing the switch state. There should be 12 volts on the 4WD switch and then a stepped down voltage as you change the switch status.
