fuel pump relay or not? 200

I had first struggle with fuel pump relay today. The relay was lying on the back felt panel (that is where PO left it - I do not know where is the stock mounting point for it?). My windshield is leaking I guess, otherwise I have no clue how the relay got full of water today. I found it when the car did not start at lunch.. I took it out, opened up, cleaned with ethanol - nothing worked. So I ended up driving home with fuses 2 and 4 jumped. It only works though when relay plugged in... I did another round of cleaning relay with sandpaper and soaking it in WD40, but to no avail. I called NAPA autoparts and they have it in stock for $55. But it seems like a lot of mark up compare with $15 from FCP Groton... I decided I can jump the fuses until new relay arrives. Is there any potential to do harm that way? (I disconnect them of course every time I turn off the engine not to wear pump and battery). I am still not 100% sure it is a relay and not a contact/wiring. I should try to test it on the bench I guess.. it was great to know the quick way to direct pump power-up! thanks to the board! it saved me a tow today ;)
