What I really have is a wiring problem

Unfortunately the four wires coming from the antenna were cut but they make no sense anyway because the antenna wire colors arent the same as the wiring harness in my car.
The four wires I have are Brown, Black, Green-Yellow and Blue.

On the workbench I can lower the antenna easily by applying 12 VDC to the black or blue wire, but I can never raise it -- The Green Yellow wire with 12 Volts on it only makes the solenoid relay chatter and buzz. I think the Green Yellow wire is the 12 Volts from the radio to raise it and the other black wire with 12VDC is the signal from the console switch to raise it to the max...Unfortunately I can get some limited twitchy buzzing raising of the antenna by tying the black and green yellow together and putting 12 VDC on it.
Also the little white gear does something to the relay/solenoid contacts and has to be oriented carefully.
