Default Washer fluid

Hello I am new here. I have a 1988 Cherokee Pioneer.

When I hit the switch for the front washer fluid nothing happens for a few seconds, then the motor slowly starts to spin then pump fluid. If I disconnect the harness from the motor and hit the switch I get 12V. Also, once the front wipers come on, the pump spins a little slower then faster in sync with the wiper motor.

If I hook up the rear switch harness to either motor, they both (motors) work fine, strong, and pump good.

Ground wires seem to check out fine.

Any suggestions? Thanks.
