Angry Wiper Motor Electrical Connection

I went out to truck last night and turned the wipers on to go to get me a pastrami on rye! Wipers didn't work!!! Took connection off motor and tested voltage...had 12 volts with switch on, so assumed motor was bad. Tried to open up the motor after removing the entire arm assembly. contacts look fine! used eraser to clean and relube still no luck. Orderd new re-man motor from parts store local. went to pick it up tonight...the wiring connection is a 4 pin oval connector!!! Mine is a 5 pin trapazoid connection in truck!!! WTF!!! Called the dealer and they had motor in stock...had him pull it to see connection...same 4 pin ...WTF!!! But he said they sell a wiring kit...but dont have it in stock and is special order...WTF...ready to snap on DODGE!!! Has anybody had this problem and what did you do to resolve it? Is there a wiring diagram I can use to repair this new motor?

it's a 2003 Ram 1500 4.7l 4x4
I have the part numbers for ya...well the ones that they are selling:
Motor ($54.00): 40-3025
Wiring Adapter ($70.00): 5127710aa
The connector is more than the stupid f'n motor!!!!
Called the junk yard this morning to see if the connector is a 4 or 5 pin, waiting for a response.

**** Update **** 4 junk yards and they all have 4 pin connector on motors! Where the hell did my truck come from???? Wish I could just cut the connector from the harness from the junk yard and make my own $70 connector!

Windshield wiper motor is OEM P/N 55077098AC

Mopar Package wiring connect number may be 05013984AA but this is a 6 pin connector but only uses 5 wires. Check and see if yours has 6 pins but only uses 5 wires

1 - empty
2 - V5 20DG -WIPER PARK SWITCH SENSE
3 - Z247 20BK/LB - GROUND
4 - Z44 18BK/DG - GROUND
5 - V3 16BR/WT - WIPER RELAY LOW SPEED OUTPUT
6 - V4 16RD/YL - WIPER RELAY HIGH SPEED OUTPUT

I am assuming this first picture is the motor you have??? Is that right? Does the second picture look more like yours? It looks like a 4 pin also though to me.

The first picture is the new motors that they are selling and LOOKS like the existing one except for the connector. I wish I had the motor in front of me for a picture, but I don't. My existing motor has 5 wires that come out of the back of the plastic casing and then has a 5 pin connector that goes to the wiring harness. The second picture is not my motor (not the same mounting setup). I dont know what to do at this point. Guess I have to go get the wiring kit!

That's it! So why don't they make the motors with the correct connections?
