The wire degredation happens mostly around the heat of the engine, particularly on a turbo. So I would guess the exposed area of the wire is mostly where the problem would be. I would cut the black sheath up the end of the wires as far as a could to see how the wires looked underneath. If It looked ok I would just splice some new wires onto the end. The washer pump is not an essential part for driving the car anyway. Replacing the wire back to the switch would be pain. The only practical way would be to route new wires outside the main wiring bundle.
