Windshield Washer Fluid is Frozen

RE: Windshield Washer Fluid is Frozen By ahoier (3) Contact Only thing I can suggest is the hair drier method. You don't want it too hot, or you could melt your reservoir. You could try pouring some warm (not HOT) water, or even 70% alcohol into the reservoir. But still, most likely the line is frozen, so your windshield washer fluid may be "out of commission" for a day or two, until it unfreezes.

If your window fluid has frozen, you are not using the proper type for cold weather.

There is a summer windshield washer fluid and a winter windshield washer fluid. I"d say perhaps you have the wrong season's in your vehicle.

Mix about a pint of alcohol to a gallon.

However, the car should be put in a warm garage to thaw out. You could pour warm water over the windshield washer bottle until the fluid thaws but you also have to thaw the lines that run from the bottle to the wipers which may be difficult to access..It may be the lines are frozen and not the bottle.

Putting this in on top of your present fluid will only work if you container is less than 1/4 full. You may have to wait till 1:00pm, the heat of the day, to mix this in with what you have, or you may have to drain your present fluid all together. Posted on 01/26/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse
