    The relay is there for a reason and it would be a bad idea to jump around it. Find the actual problem and fix it.

    No, the hybrid control system has self tests that specifically check function of the contactors every time it goes to ready up. If something doesn't function as expected, the ecu will shut the system down.

    You can find decent looking used parts on ebay $20-40 or so.
