The green one is the fuel pump relay and the brown one is the EEC relay. The EEC relay supplies power to the engine computer, injectors and the ignition coil when the key is turned to the 'run' position. The fuel pump relay is controlled by the engine computer to activate/deactivate the fuel pump. This is so that the pump does not run continually with the engine turned off. If everything works without the relay in place, there are some wires crossed up somewhere allowing power to reach places the relay should have control over.

There's something completing the circuit at some point, but I couldn't begin to guess where. If it works without the relay even in the socket, it sounds like the high current wires are jumpered somewhere.
