I think the wire you unplugged was the rf lead to the antenna. This would have no affect on up/down but you would lose am reception. FM would be ok in area of strong stations. If you want antenna always down simply pull black 8 pin connector from antenna control module mounted to antenna mast in trunk.
EDIT: See note on later post re connector color.
