Arrow Newbie:Restricted Performance & CEL Came On When Disabling the Antenna ?

So I called myself disabling the antenna. I checked for fuse #9 but could not find it. So I pulled a big white plug out near the antenna. I get into the car then Restricted Performance pops up. I plug it back in and then it disappears. I believe I pulled the wrong plug but anyways I searched deeper and found a little white plug that plugs into the antenna motor so I disconnected that one instead. After that the CEL came on and when I turned it off the CEL disappeared. I havent had a problem since but I just want to make sure everything is fine ?

I pulled the white one near the antenna in the trunk

The Antenna tells the computer the WIND SPEED of the car when in motion, if disconnected it will throw those codes.

The green with the black tracer is all you need to interrupt. If I were you, instead of pulling the entire plug out (obviously other functions going on there), simply put a toggle switch inbetween the black (ground) and the green/black wire.
