Fan clutch question

[poncho1965]

Can your fan clutch fail, so it always operates? It's been roaring, noisy as hell since yesterday. Doesn't matter if engine is cold.

It's a fluid activated unit, but if the unit leaks or is old I'm sure it can fail either way. If it's locked up then you shouldn't be able to spin it freely at all with the engine off.
