We live in the midwest and our wipers freeze down and we can't use them till they thaw. id there a drain hole plugged or something? it is a poor design to say the least. Gee maybe we should trade for a Toyota not.

try auto zone library ,REALLY just log in and list your truck and go to repair guides , if not it's really easy drain coolant below freeze plug hole, but first note how deep the old plug sits in the block , remove old plug by tapping on one edge till it starts to move using ***** driver if you can grab it with a pair of vice grip pliers and wiggle it till it comes out, (don't slam it or it may fall in to block )if that happens no biggy it won't hurt anything (you just don't want a lot of things in the block ) now clean the plug hole to remove all dirt and grease ,you can lightly sand it to clean it ,now find a socket that fits in side the new freeze plug loosly and apply a thin film of silicone on the edge an usung a hammer drive it in till you reach the depth of the old one refill coolant ,that's it .
if you have any questiond get back to me ,and i'll be glad to help in any way good luck .

How To Find Water Leaks in Your Vehicle EricTheCarGuy

If it was me Id just get as much out as you can and go from there,not a hole lot in torque con. and you might be getting into something you don't want to,draining the trans will be enough to get your fluid back into good quality and changing filter,and with every trans change I put a pint of lucas with the change! good stuff!

Assuming the water (hopefully you mean water/anti-freeze coolant mixture) is going into the filler cap hole at the top of the radiator expansion reservoir, there are several possibilities: lower radiator hose not connected, radiator drain plug missing or loose or gasket missing, hole in expansion reservoir or radiator, coolant level sending unit missing or loose or gasket missing.

Your motor has several freeze plugs. The freeze plug holes are located usually 3 per side on the block, 2 in the ends of each head and 2 in each end of the block. Determine approximately what location the coolant is running out from, feel around the block for an actual round hole/cavity in the block. They are different sizes. some as small as 1 inch diameter to as large as about 3 inch diameter. Find the cavity that is not filled, as you can stick your finger deep into the block/head.
Then measure this hole. The easiest type relacement plug is called an expansion type. It is like a rubber stopper that you tighten a bolt in the center of it to expand it/tighten it to the full diameter sealing the cavity. Found at most parts stores. They come in a variety of sizes, so you must try to get extremely close to the actual diamerter of the freeze plug hole in the block/head to make it work. Install new plug into hole pushing rubber portion in all the way until the flat metal washer part of the expansion plug contacts the block/head surface. IT MUST be flush or evenly seated in the freeze plug hole/cavity in the block/head. Tighten center nut on new plug to about 25 ft lbs. This will make the rubber part expand and seal into the hole. Refill coolant, check for leaks. In my experience, if you pop one plug, it is usually in the block first and one will be popped on both sides of the block. Feel around BOTH sides of block to verify all 6 plugs are in place! CAUSE>>
This is due to water in the coolant system freezing, due to poor coolant system maintenance. The freeze plugs pop out when the frozen water expands preventing the freezing water from cracking your block.You would be money ahead to drain/flush your system and refill with all new 50/50 antifreeze of the type recommended for your vehicle. NEVER put water in your cooling system! Use only in emergency, fix problem then drain and refill with 50/50 coolant! This will prevent this problem from reoccurring and damaging other cooling system components.

Rain X should have alleviated the freezing problem assuming that you circulated enough of it through the tubing and through the nozzles before it froze again.

Maybe try to disassemble the nozzle and soak in the Rain X solution or warm water to unfreeze it.

Trace the piping or tubing to the place where the frozen water exists and eliminate the ice by warming it up.

You may take the whole vehicle to a heated garage and let it thaw out, then circulate the fluid by pushing the button or switch to operate the windshield wiper fluid pump.

One thing that will help a lot is to remember to turn the defroster off before you get home. If you let the windshield cool and freeze while you run the wipers on a slow delay they won't freeze down. Guaranteed.

The other thing is to keep the area where the wipers park clear of snow and ice. Turn the key on, run the wipers until they're all the way up, turn the key off and get your plastic tool and dig that stuff out. Make sure there is somewhere for the water to drain.

lp

The two drain holes in the compartment beneath the wipers are plugged with debris. Take off wipers.
2. Take of plastic panel under wipers. 3. Clear crud away from drain holes. Pour water in there afterward to make sure it drains properly..You will see it come out the bottom under the car.
4. Clean out any other leaves hope this will hlp you

the hoses conecting the pump tothe wipers could be plugged or the pump could be broken i would take it to a mecanic and explain the promblem it shouldnt very much if it ijust plugged

This link my help ID the part.
It could be the drain plug, its possible it can off.
Depending on how much antifreeze that was in the system and where you live it could also be a freeze plug that was pushed out due to to little antifreeze.
