Windshield Washer Squirter keeps blowing fuse

My windshield wipers work fine, but when I try to squirt my windshield washer fluid it blows the 20 amp fuse attached to those functions.

any ideas?

Bad ground or short maybe? Might also be the cause of your anti-social signal lamp.

check to pump on the main bottle
they get corroded from the salt and snow.
that would be your best place to check

i know this area was very dirty on my car...and if its wet it could be shorting..

if your wipers still work but not the spray the problem has to be in the pump or switch or along the wiring...but im sure you know that

wipers are on a totaly separte fuse and relay
most likly its the pump but if you are blowing a fuse it would be most likly a short

They are on the same fuse... I believe.

after the fuse blows after trying to use washer squirters, my wiper blades won't move until I change the blown fuse.
