5kS Washer pump question


('84 5000S auto-trans)

Back in the country and extra-cold NE wheater, I found the washer pump
emitting one little squirt (unless that dripped onto the windshield from
somewhere else), and then nothing.

As expected, the reservoir looked empty as far as I could see, and I
filled it with Prestone de-icer wash fluid. (Old stuff was summer fluid)

As before, the pump audibly runs, but nothing else happens.

I figured stuff was frozen then, but after driving more than 40 minutes 
today, there's still nothing.


Any ideas, BTDTs?
Does this pump die upon running dry?

BTW, the level in the reservoir is not going down, so it's
not a leak after the pump.


TIA,
