windscreen washer motor for WH

[crdv6]

Does anyone know if the 2005 WH sold in Australia uses a different washer motor to the US? I purchased one for about US$40 and had it sent over (cost more for the postage!) but it does not fit. The part number is 05143581AC.
When I search this number, it comes up as the correct unit for the 2005 GC, but the one I took out (was leaking) draws water from the bottom of the unit, wheras the new one I bought has a side entry ie : it pushes in sideways, but mine pushes down to fit; totally different. Does anyone have another part number? I may have to take both parts in to local Jeep dealer and ask them, but will get a cool response considering I didn't want to pay them $140 for the part.
p.s. does anyone know where to access a catalogue for part numbers?

This is getting weird. I took my old pump to the local dealer and quoted my VIN number for a quote for a new pump. They quoted me $150 and told me the part number is K05179153AC. When I type this in google all I get is a couple of Russian websites! 1593 Roubles, which is about $52 here.
What is going on?

Both my manuals show part number 68002149AA (05 WH and 07 WK) for the full reservoir.

The part number Jeep gave you shows as just the pump package (ie to fit to your existing reservoir). The number you used does not appear in the parts manual at all.

So jeep one should be right. Perhaps try Jeeeparts at Hervey Bay?

There was a thread on this. Here's the link:

I think I am getting somewhere at last. When I dropped the "K" from K05179153AC I got plenty of hits, but not for the Grand Cherokee, but other applications like the Wrangler and Patriot. I contacted Nick Kolak in USA and he discovered that this number is for the 07 on model. Perhaps the export model we have got the new part earlier? He showed me the parts catalogue for both and he seems to be right. So now I have posted back the one he sent and he will exchange it. Even with all the postage, will still be cheaper (as long as this one fits!)
