windshield washer not working(one side)

I had to use my w/washer yesterday for the first time yesterday and nothing came out.Nozzles were clear of snow and pump was working.After about 30 second's the passenger side started working but not the driver's side.It has the factory washer fluid in it which turned to ice on the windshield.Do you think it is cheap fluid and maybe froze in the tube.I guess I will try to find a warm place to park it and see if that help's,if not I will go to the dealer.
Will keep you posted on result's.

did you open the hood and check to see if the hose feeding the nozzle possibly became disconnected ? other than that it's probably just frozen, it happens to mine every once in a while but
on the pass.side.

I've had one side freeze up a couple of times when it is really cold outside. Just need to make sure you use and anti-freezing washer fluid to make sure it will work ok. My sister, who lives in TX, had her fluid freeze up over Christmas in her car while she was up here. Guess they don't need the stuff to handle the really cold weather down there.

I have found that the yellow fluid works a lot better than the blue. The yellow is good to - 34. I got tired of the nozzle freezing and this stuff has been working great for me down to 0 here in Ohio.
