What you are seeing is normal. Most power antennas have three wires 1 (black) goes to ground, 1 (red) goes to constant power, 1 (blue) goes to a remote wire from your radio.
When power is applied to the blue wire the antenna goes up. When you cut the power to the blue the red wire takes over and moves the antenna back down. If you don’t have a black wire I would guess it’s getting its ground from the case.
