I just bought this car. Every time I turn on the windshield wipers it sprays window wiper fluid. Do you know what the problem could be? Thanks

Hello,

It sounds like the wiper module is out but to be sure here is a guide and the wiper wiring diagrams so you can see how the system works and which wires to test.
