No, but they go through the firewall to the cowl...

The pump is in the bottom of the wiper motor. There's a little metal clip that has to be carefully removed, then the pump just pulls out the bottom. New pumps come with a new clip that snaps in place to keep the pump from falling out. The pump is like $20 at parts stores.

The hose for my rear washer/wiper goes into the cabin.
