I say warm up the engine to the point the reservoir thaws out, then blow all the stuff outta there (preferably onto a warm windshield...wouldn't want any cracking action). Then find some cheap stuff with antifreeze mixed in that advertises temperatures around sabledales'.
That's just it. The reservoir is not in the engine bay. Yes. I fill it inside the engine bay, but the reservoir itself sits outside of the engine bay in the right front wheel well area. Let me ask this. Wouldn't I still here the pump running even if it the fluid was frozen? [/b]
Yeah, i just remembered that. Well, I say...get under there with a blow dryer
Nah, I think if you let the car idle in a closed location (maybe a parking garage?) long enough, it would heat up the front of the car warm enough to melt the fluid. If not, like i said, blow dryer.
And, about the pump...I would think that if the fluid froze, then the pump would be frozen in place. If you arn't getting any noise from the pump when you push the switch in, then it's frozen or broken or something.
So, wait, you're sure it's frozen, right? It seems logical to me.
