New radio antenna issue, what did i do wrong?

I ended up cutting the original harness and connected all the wires as instructed. The radio was working fine but the antenna was not functioning going up. I thought maybe it was stuck in the rubber grommet and turned it slightly. Next thing i know my radio head unit goes black and shuts off. I checked my fuses all of them are fine i check my wire connections and they all have a solid connection. What could i have done wrong and what is my solution to this ugly mess.

Radio antenna question

[question]
Hello, i purchased an aftermarket radio antenna for my 1985 w123 from Mercedessource and this bullet connector was included in the kit for installation. It does not fit the connector for the original in the car. Im trying to install this route because i do not want to cut and would like to keep the car original if possible. Does anyone know what size connector i need and where to find them?
