jeez i just found out that this is an even worse problem.. i tried to pump out all the old fluid and replace it with new fluid... i could only pump out 1/4 of the tank. then i noticed that its not the hose thats frozen... its the 3/4 tank thats frozen to solid... should've replaced the old fluid earlier...

pump out what you can and Fill with Pretty much straight rubbing alchohol. When it melts, pump some out and add a little water.

I had the same problem this morning.

I washed my car over the weekend and haven't driven it since. I'm wondering if some water got in the sprayers and froze.

I'm driving 2 and a half hours tonight so I'll give it a try then and see what happens. Hopefully the engine heat will be able to thaw it out.

all washer fluid is is methanol just put a good concentration of that in there we just have a 55 gallon drum & we mix it heavier for winter & not so much for summer, there is to much water in your mixture is all.

this mixture table is good for water/alcohol injection, good for windshield fluid too
