The trigger/valve does not control the flow of fluuid from the tank to the brushes,. The valve is always open regardless of the trigger position. It appears(visually) that the rigger operates the linkage to the valve assembly but the valve fails to close. I assume the valve is designed to be normally closed but it apparently is always open and the mechanism fails to close when the trigger is released.
I replaced the water control solenoid and it cured the problem.

It maybe that a water line has come off, where does it appear to be running out? Bottom of the tank, or down below, Bottom of the tank may have a bad seal or has a crack under the the seal, on the platform where the tank sits on has 2 or 3 tubes that hook up to it, check to make wure they are on, or a line could have come loose at the bottom, there you would have to take the top cover off.
