I have a 2008 Honda Civic which blows cold hair at first and then starts blowing warm air.

I have already replaced the AC Switch, The compressor is running fine, there its no leaks, and I have replaced the freon and checked the the freon pressure and it is still full. Do I need to change out the compressor relay fuse? Any other suggestions?

It sounds like you are just tossing parts on it, not diagnosing it first. Sometimes it is cheaper to pay a professional. Does the compressor stay running when it isn't cold? If so, is the return pipe, (the large 1) cold? When you replaced the freon, was it evacuated proprely, with a vacuum pump, for at least 20 minutes at -28 psi vacuum? If the compressor turns off when it gets warm, is power still going to the compressor? If it is, the magnetic coil is failing and/or the clutch gap has become excessive, not unusual on higher mileage Hondas. Your question about the fuse baffles me, why even ask, just replace it with a spare fuse.

Testimonial: "Yes the compressor is running but the condensor fan randomly goes on and off. No I did use a vacuum pump . Imma just go ahead and replace the condensor fuse anyway at least I'll have new parts."

You probably replace the wrong switch. I believe the high pressure switch is mounted in the back of the compressor. Pull the plug and jump it. If it works, replace the switch. I don't recommend you leave the jumper in the plug. If it the A/C pressure is to high, you could blow lines and such. Costing you a lot of money.

Blows cold when first started and then blowes warm

I would replace the AC compressor cycling switch it may be sticking have seen it a number of times. The switch is located in the receiver dryer on the passenger side of the engine compartment. See picture below.

If this isn't the problem the AC compressor relay may also cause this, flip a coin.

AC was blowing cold. Now only warm air comes out.

May just need to be recharged, if r34 is too low, ac will not kick in, Wal-mart sells recharge kits and cans of r34 (insctructions are on kit)...expect to pay around $50 total if you do it yourself. If that doesn't work you may have to replace the AC compressor.
