Default sc fan clutch problem plz help

Ok friends my new problem is my fan is not cutting on. When i 1st turn the key and start the car you can hear it kick on and then after 5 seconds shut off. After driving the car for 20 mins or more in this crazy heat you dont hear it cut back on and temp starts to creep up slowly.Anybody have any ideas ???

Cant you just start your car and watch the fan blade spin? YOu can also rev your car and see if it spins even faster.

ya dude i litteraly just had my fan clutch go out and replaced it, my problem was that my fan was on all the time and blowing like crazy, it sounded really loud like a trash truck, but if its your fan clutch try spinning the fan when the car is off, if it doesnt spin its most likely your fan clutch
