maybe it needs a relay?

Get those 2 orange wires back together!

The 2 orange wires need to be spliced back together, make sure that one of the orange wires is constant 12 volts. If it is not, check the 20 amp fuse that is the power that feeds the relay which will run antenna up and down.

The pink wire is the signal wire from head unit that will tell antenna relay to send antenna up with 12 volts and down when head unit is shut off. Here is a link for the diagram which will tell you how it is properly wired:
