I'm still learning about radios but from what I've learned so far is these export radios need to be modified to work in the CB 11 meter band. Depending on the radio it could be as simple as cutting a wire or trace and or adding a jumper. Other mods use a plug a play style connections. So before you start reconnecting wires back together do some research to see if they were meant to but cut for some mod done to the radio.

The web page may be of some help to you. Galaxy Radios DX88HML Service Manual Never used it myself.

All though I've fairly recently purchased a soldering iron and stuff I've yet to get brave enough to attempt to mod any of my radios.
I did try re-soldering a trace on my old (10+ year old) Maxon HT but the radio still doesn't work. It's not worth it to get the local shop to fix and reprogram.
