I would use "has" there.
 
'Have' should be used if the pronoun before the relative pronoun is in the first/second person or in the third-person plural, otherwise 'has' should be used.
Am I right or wrong? Not a teacher.

If tufguy likes to use 'how to', he may say 'I am still confused about how to...'.

Not a teacher.
 
I am well aware of what he could say (and he has been given that alternate wording many times before) but he has been told/taught/advised for months and months in almost every thread to stop using "How to ...?" as a question construction. In previous posts, I made it clear that if he isn't going to listen to anything he is told, posts with that construction might start to be deleted. Now that has begun.
 
Sorry for using "How to". It takes time to change old habbits. I will take care of it. Mathew just answer one question of mine. You say, when the pronoun is first person or second person or third person in plural then we use "Have". somebody has also written "I am the person who have influenced my life" and "I, who have influenced". Is it third person plural?
 
I will use 'has' only if the pronoun is in the third-person singular.
I am not a teacher.
somebody has also written "I am the person who have influenced my life"
Who wrote it? Where is it?

"I, who have influenced". Is it third person plural?
'I' is the first-person singular pronoun.
 
Ok, "I, who have influenced" or "Its I who have i flunced". If I am saying or writing these sentences then I need to use "Have". If I am saying other sentences like "I am the one" or "I am the person who" then I have to use "Has". Am I correct?
 
If there is a third person singular before "I" then we have to use "Have". Like "Its I who have done it" or "I, who have done it". In rest of the sentences "Has" should be followed like "I am the one who", "I am the person who". I got it, right?
 
Frankly speaking, you were given a good many examples with "who" in this thread. If you took time to examine them all, you might well come to the conclusion that "who" can refer to any person and number.
If you don't feel confident enough about the first, the second or the third person, singular or plural, why not consult a good grammar book? I'd say, it's vital for mastering a language.
 
Lotus888 has written "It's I who have influenced my own life". So it should be "It's I who has influnced my own life". Am I correct?

Rover k, has written two sentences with "Who". In the first sentence he has used have whereas in second one he has used has. Why?. Didn't get it.

Actually, Lotus said:

It is I who have influence on my own life.

Which is weird, but (possibly) grammatical.
