Easiest way to check the clutch is to run the auto active test. Get in the car with the driver's door open, turn the ignition on, push the driver's door switch 10 times, turn ignition off and then back on. The car should cycle through several functions. High and low beams, cooling fans, wipers, a/c clutch. Watch the clutch and listen for it to engage. You should be able to see and hear it. If it doesn't check the wires going to it for power and ground while the test is running. If you have power and ground and it doesn't engage then you have a bad clutch.
