All of the P connections are tied together inside the relay panel so it
does not matter which of the 5 male .250 spade lugs the red wire for the
locks is plugged into. All the wires to the P lugs should be red. You
want one that is a small size, compared to the 2 much larger reds on
other P pins. A small red wire should go from there up to a separate
fuse holder clipped onto the panel above the relays. The Bentley is not
always exactly correct with this type of detail since someone who worked
on it could have moved things.
