Subject: Re: windshield washer freeze-up


This happened while I was caught in a freak snowstorm in Alberta on my way to Vancouver, where I am now and where the temps haven't dipped below freezing since I've got here. It's been weeks, weeks I tell you, of warm weather (highs in the 60s, lows in the 50s) and my washers still don't work at all. Something's busted. The pump? If so, where's it at, because I can't find it. There's a Saab graveyard just outside Vancouver, so procuring parts should be no problem, only I have no clue what I'm out to replace...
