Bob for Model Number W4TXNWFQ03

Just asked this "installing new defrost timer part # w10822278 which connector do I install the black wire on to ? 2, 1, 4, or 3". Answer was terminal # 2 the first position on new timer. Just so I'm clear that is labeled "PK" on old timer but in same position on new timer which is not labeled with color. "BK" appears at Terminal # 1 spot on old timer. "OR" at 4 and "R" at 3 Please confirm terminal # 2 for the black wire on new timer. Thanks very much. Bob
