Any idea how to prevent the windsheild washer system from freezing up? It didn't work the first day I got it....worked this weekend after being in a heated garage for a couple hours...now doesn't work again. Bugs me cause the road grime here is nasty...lol. Also, and I think I heard this somewhere before, the light on the clock doesn't work. What needs to be replaced in that instance? Thanks! -Josh 1998 Black SVT 1992 SHO www.CVBOYZ.com

Washer fluid uses alcohol for freezing protection. If it sits too long, the alcohol evaporates out of the solution raising the freeze point.

The guy I bought the car from bought a mini cooper this summer so he didn't drive the SVT much. As for the dash light...will tackle that in the garage this weekend too, thanks for pointing that out. -Josh 1998 Black SVT 1992 SHO www.CVBOYZ.com
