Success! I removed the battery to get a better angle and grip on the FPR, really wiggled it back in forth as far as it would go, pulled as hard as my grip could offer, and it popped out.
The pins and receptacles looked like new... no corrosion or damage.
... made a shorting plug from a short piece of wire, connected it between receptacles 7 and 8 and the moment I connected the battery I heard the fuel pumps energize. It was a little reluctant to start, but once it finally fired and I got it to 2000 revs it stabilized, so I eased off the throttle, and it settled into a smooth 1200 RPM idle, which is about right for the 60 degree ambient temperature.
I'll be going down to Pelican early tomorrow morning to pick up a new relay, and that should be the fix.
Thanks Frank and Sugar Bear for the help.
