Here's an update:

I checked my relays, by putting finger on the and turn AC on/off

When I turn AC on, low speed fan relay is clicking and fans start, so it's not a relay.
However I'm still puzzled why the fans do not start when coolant reaches 96C (206F) and only start when coolant reaches 103C ?

I also run the car on idle until fans kicked in automaticaly while keeping my finger on the relay. When coolant temp reaches 103C low speed relay klicks in and fans start. Why is my car starts fans at low speed at 103C? why not at 96C?

Can it be resistor? if the resistor is bad then fans shouldn't start when low speed relay is clicking, right?
