The fan clutch is not the same clutch that drives your AC compressor. If your AC is on but no cool air is being blown, it may be your AC compressor clutch, low freon or some other AC related problem.
If your engine is running hot and your fan isn't turning but the belt is turning the pulley, then your fan clutch may be the problem.

Normally, if the fan clutch wears out, the engine will run too hot. A high pitched squealing noise can sometimes be heard. The fan clutch has nothing to do with your AC. There is a clutch on your AC compressor, though.

You should be able to turn the fan with you hand freely, but it should`nt keep turning. It should stop after about a 1/4 or 1/2 turn then its still good. This has nothing to do with your AC unless the engine is running hot, The AC will make your car run hotter especially at idle.

With the engine off try spinning the fan by hand . you should feel resistance , and the fan shouldn't spin very much ( 1 revolution or less ) . If it spins more I'd replace it . As far as your a/c going down the road it should have no effect . idling at a stop light maybe a little . Listen for your a/c compressor kicking in and out , this would indicate low freon .

Fan Clutches in Cars? I thought cars had electric fans (certainly Mercedes are) and Trucks/Vans had the couplings (Again certainly true of Mercedes - the fan coupling for the Actros heavy truck was nearly £1000!)
