I do believe I found the connector for the red wire. Bentley shows the connection as basically being a "T", so, I looked for a connector with a red wire and found one that was a single male/female. I removed the plastic cover from the female side of the spade connection and found that there used to be two wires going to that side. the second wire had broken flush with the shank.
