I tested it and see that it does spin (and stop when the engine shuts off). So in this DIY, I noticed that you pull out the AUX fan switch to 'clean it' and put back in. I'm wondering if my issue is more along the line of the AUX fan switch being faulty and not the fan itself. I don't want to replace the fan if only to find out that something else was causing the fan not to kick on when the engine is cold. Wonder if there is a way to test this.
In this DIY I did clean up the switch and replaced the o ring. One way to test would be to unplug it. If the behavior doesn't change then you know its likely faulty.
