Antenna Issue?, Help a co-celica lover Options

[NeverBeGosu]

having a problem with my radio. I have one channel that I can pick up in the fm range. When I pulled my center console while trying to clean up + do some mods on the interior, I thought I would take a look. I have two cables both black Moving down along side of shifter and emergency break then go underneath my airbag control unit then dissapear. I noticed when I had the car running and I was straightening those wires and just adjusting them in my hands I was able to get my full function of am/fm, but I cant position them the way it needs to be to keep it that way.

Any suggestions?

Keep in mind that my antenna doesnt exist, so my guess is that those lines are still brought all the way to the rear of the car and thats why I have some reception. I just dont know why adjusting the last few feet of the cable would make a diffrence on reception. I'm currently looking for a new motor and antenna assembly so I can see if when I connect those it will work fine, but I have a feeling theres something else at play here. Let me know you wiring maniacs.
