Well, it should always be turning, but not necessaraly locked up.
Turn the engine off and turn the fan by hand. You should be able to move it with a little bit of drag.
Then let the engine idle for a while. At some time the fan clutch should lock up and the fan should turn faster and if you rev the engine when this happend you should notice it moving a ton more air then when it is not locked up.

Another alternative, if you indeed have a bad fan clutch, is to install a taurus fan. Do a search for "taurus fan install" Its a $30-60 flex-a-lite like mod, just takes some junkyard scrounging and wiring.
