Relay? Or try banging on gas tank...

...I don't know if the relay comes before or after the fuse in question, but I recently had a bout of a nonresponsive fuel pump, and after searching the board tried the technique of banging on the fuel tank right below the pump and it's been fine ever since.
This technique is used to revive pumps on their way out, but I theorize that my pump is working fine, but somehow a piece of grit found its way into the uptake and jammed the motor. Banging dislodged the grit and all is well, or seems so.
Give your car a few good raps with a soft-headed mallet on the underside of the tank and perhaps you'll have the same lucky experience!
Otherwise, if the fuse isn't getting power, maybe the relay's the problem? Others in the know will surely answer this question better than I can.
