What are the relays underr the dash behind the glove box and on the drivers side?

I took pics before I disconnected these, but I don't trust that the DPO actually had it connected up right to begin with.

THere is a small white canister mounted on the firewall on the drivers side and next to it is a relay. What are these?

ALso the two relays on the firewall behind the glove compartment next to the wiper motor. What are those? Perhaps if I knew what I was supposed to connect, I could connect the wires that are supposed to be there.

I am really learning to not like wiring. (The clock works though!)
 
White cylinder shaped item on driver's side firewall maybe the fuel pump inertia switch. The volatage stabilizer for the fuel and temp gauge is located next to it. On the passenger, side under the dash, behind the glove box is the turn signal flasher.
 
Ok so the fuel pump is ot working. Everything is hooked up according to the wiring diagrams, but its not pumping. I saw a notice on the fuel pump inertia switch that said something about the "plunger being fully depressed" I pushed down the top (I guess that's the plunger. Could this go bad?
I notice that I have a plug that has no conection on it on the voltage stabilizer, but I don't see anything to connect.
DP had all of this bypassed somehow, a push button start and the fuel pump (from a mitsubishi) laying in the trunk and direct wired. What manual or book can I get that would show me how this is supposed to be connected up? Wiring diagrams are not clear about these.
 
The original switches do sometimes cause problems. Upgrades are available through moss. Sounds like you might have some dpo wiring to go through first.
 
I will test with a voltage meter (what a thought) also, is there a ground wire I could have missed?
