Washer Fluid and Air run while gears shift
So I have had Jeeps for a while but this one is new on me.
Today while driving my jeep through first gear my washer fluid would spray and my air would turn on high and then stop. Then the same thing in second gear once I hit third it stops.
This has to be some sort of wiring issue but I have never heard or seen this please help.

Time to grab your local priest for an exorcism. Lol is there anything odd wit him how's it shifts? Or does it shift like normal? Seems like the wires from the washer fluid and AC were accidentally hooked up to the transmission solonoid wires. But this is an odd one for sure.

I have had this jeep for a few months took it on an 8 hour road trip and no issues other than small maintenance items.
This actually scared me when it happened.
I have noticed my washer fluid is hooked up backwards when I push for the windshield my rear washer sprays and vice versa.
so when the air fluid thing happened my front windshield would get covered in fluid rear wiper going and air in high.
oddest thing is it happens through the first two gears like 2500 rpms then stops when it shifts and then at 2500 hits again.
I don't kniw5it is just odd

It also only seems to happen once the jeep is at running temp. If I keep my Rpms low it doesn't do it.
I will try and get into the fuses and wiring and see if I see anything. Something has to be crossed or shorting out
