The switch is a Square D switch.
Thank yall for your thoughts on this.
Well... why in the world would you spray WD40 on relays?

Because he was out of duct tape & his vice grips were in his pickup?

Take the relay away from the well and wash the WD 40 off it using carb
cleaner. Or just replace it.

Or relay cleaner-

If the relay was dirty just from normal use, relay cleaner, maybe. But
when someone sprays something like WD40 on it, that is not normal use or
operating conditions. So I pull out the big guns. Actually I would
then file or burnish the contacts after cleaning them. I don't think
I've even actually seen relay cleaner, if it's like contact cleaner
spray, it's a joke that normally gives more problems then it fixes.
