Ya I think it's the same front, lol... this can go away anytime... it's still snowing!

It is freezing here. Right now the air temp is -2 and it is expected to be -11 by the morning. The windchill is around -30. Brrrrrrr!!!!!

So my washer jets have decided to not work...fantastic. Plenty of fluid, I can hear it "working" but nothing sprays, just a little dribble from the nozzle on the hood.

Is the nozzle frozen? Or perhaps the fluid? The fluid you buy during the Spring-Fall freezes once it gets cold, and I've had that happen before.

I have the cold weather package so should have heated washer jets far as I know.

As far as the fluid itself, this is going to sound really dumb...but REALLY? Since when did the off-season stuff have any difference? I swore it was all the same fluid.

Toeknee's right, they do sell blue water in the summer, if you look at the small print on the front of the bottle it might say good down to temps of 32*!

(no really, I've seen that written on the bottles!)

But, in the future you'll be an much more aware consumer, won't you?

It's a tough way to learn, just carefully read the bottles. The one time I had it happen to me I had some of the summer stuff in the tank and it froze up. I filled it the rest of the way up with the winter stuff and it helped a lot.
