elec. problem

Alright, I've got somewhat of an electrical problem. I have no idea whats wrong, and searching has not helped me yet. It seems that every time i try to spray washer fluid, the fuse to my hazards, radio, seatbelt warning light, clock... go out. I've gone through 4 fuses just trying to understand whats wrong. I always thought the sprayer was on a different circuit, it all worked fine about a week ago. Just wondering if anyone has any ideas....

just a wild guess but maybe the wires for washerfluid and hazzard are somehow touching behind the fusebox....check the wiring...a test light might help

That means that some of your wiring is exposed and touching things it ought not be touching. You need to look around under the dash (most likely) and find the culprit before it touches something else (like your iginition circuit) and really screws something up.
