The fan is almost always on when you turn on the vehicle because it also helps keep the engine and other parts cooler
It is designed to free wheel until the engine reaches running tempture. The way you check the fan clutch is make sure the engine is hot, norther words go and drive it a few miles, then come back and leave the engine running, open the hood then stand somewhere where you can see the fan turning. Then turn the engine off and the fan blades should only turn about 1 time as soon as you turn engine off. If the fan spends several times then the fan clutch is bad. Replace fan clutch. Just be sure the engine is hot when you do this test.
The fan will not turn on till your vehicle is at operating temperature. Check it again when the engine is hot.

possibly reversed wiring or perhaps a bad PCM, the PCM is supposed to override the sensor and turn on the fan anytime the AC is on.
Once the engine is has warmed to operating temperature, turn the engine off, and take your hand turn the fan. If the fan turns with ease, then the fan clutch is bad. The fan should have much resistance the vehicle is running in a stopped position or in slow moving traffic. The fan should turn freely when traveling a 30 mph because you don't need a fan at high moving speeds.
