So I did jump those connectors after removing the relay. The pump comes on. As soon as I plug, i hear a whirring noise from the engine (which I thought it was weird because the pump is on the front, right?). However, putting my head near the battery, I can clear hear it on.

The car did not turn on, though. I don't have any equipment to check the fuel pressure yet, but the pump seems to be fine. This is what looks like:

I still have the P0102 - Mass air flow sensor short circuit/open circuit error after erasing the fault a couples times. Could be it?

Fuel pump is in the front, easy to hear in the front no question about that, I'm deaf as a post and can hear that when jumping the relay. Not sure why you'd hear anything from the back. You sure you're jumping the correct relay?

I can hear the pump in the front. There's a whirring in the back (i have the access to engine open behind the sit so it's very easy to hear). I read a couple other people also hear something in the back when the pump.
I do believe I got it right. I have the relay on my hands. This is it:
