Use a Herman Nelson blower heater or use an inline block heater on the heater hose. Coolant frozen in Rad as so as the coolant in the engine

Some people tell me my battery or water pump may be frozen. When I noticed my coolant was frozen I tried to start it and it just barely made a sound. The headlights and blinkers worked so I kept trying to start it then all of a sudden the headlights and blinkers quit working. It started making a ticking sound under the hood I think coming from the fuse box. Any suggestions on whats happened?

You need to thaw the vehicle out and also inspect and test the battery.
