Both problems should be related and caused by the control cables.

ADJUSTMENTS
AIR MIX CABLE
NOTE:
The purpose for adjusting the air mix cable is to ensure that the air
mix door is fully closed when the maximum cool position is selected.

1. At air mix door linkage (bottom of heater case), disengage air mix cable housing from clamp. Disconnect cable wire from air mix door control arm. At heater control panel, select maximum cool position and hold it in this position.

2. At air mix door linkage, hold door control arm in maximum cool position (hold it against stop). Reconnect cable wire to door control arm. Gently slide cable housing back to eliminate slack, then snap cable housing into clamp. Adjust heater valve cable. See HEATER (COOLANT) VALVE CABLE.

Why do you suspect it's the relay?

Is your refrigerant topped up? Get an a/c diagnostic done first.

'94 Honda Civic EX, 225,000 miles. Car recently started blowing warm air, even on cool mornings, with the vent from outside air, and the temp control all the way to the cool side. I'm thinking the "hot air" is not being shut off completely. What could be causing this, and how can I check it / fix it? I'm reasonably comfortable mechanically, and want to fix it myself if possible.
With summer almost on us, I don't want any hot/warm air coming into the car. We live in SC and already have had temps into the 90's.
Thanks for your help,
Brian.

Find or trace the cable from the temp control and inside the engine well is the valve to control the flow on the coolant line that feeds the heater for the car. The valve is not closing all the way. A system flush could rectify the problem but you may want to take off that valve and clean or replace it.

Bruce,
I replaced the heater control valve last Friday, and it is now blowing nice and cold, with the temp on cold, and warm when temp control is moved to hot.
Thanks for your help!
