it will always spin, you cant really visually see if its on or off, but u can feel and hear if its moving air. if you think its faulty then replace the fan clutch

When it's cold, the fan should freewheel a little more than when it's hot. You should be able to feel a difference in resistance between the two extremes.

Your fan is operating as it should. It will spin always.
