Default windshield washer wont stop

I just hooked up my washers for the first time and tried them out to see if I could get the fluid through them. So I started the car and turned wipers on then pushed the button three or four times and thought I was going to have to fill the pump to get it to work. All of a sudden it started spraying, I let it run for a few seconds then it appeared it wasn't going to stop so I shut wipers off and they were still spraying. So I shut car off and it stopped. I was wondering if these pumps are timed or relay controlled. I know switch works because I tested it before puting car together. Just thought I would see if anyone knew the answer wile I go look up the electrical again. Thanks for any input. Timsride

my 77 the wipers are timed but not the spray gotta pull the wiper lever per squirt. is it possible maybe the contacts stuck together in your switch. or maybe a short at the pump or the wiring alnog the way.

I'm not sure about the Corvettes, but other older Chevys that you push in on the wiper switch would spray for maybe 7 or 8 swipes of the wipers.
