If so then maybe the washer fluid is freezing.
Indeed 0 C is 32F, so this is well below 32F.

I buy -40 degree washer fluid, and to prove this theory incorrect, I ran the tank dry (with a handheld electric pump), and put the same fluid in it that I run in my truck.

My truck pump works in the cold, but the car does not...remember, same fluid.

Thanks for the idea though, it is certainly a good one. I'm thinking a bad contact with the connector, mosture possibly freezing on the cold days, separating the contact from the motor itself.

However, I don't want to have to take the fender off just to check that!

Tks,

Steve
