Ivanerrol- you're the man.
Mine's locked. Happened on the way home from a road trip. I can turn the fan blades by hand, and hear and feel no nasty bearing grinding sounds. It's just really sticky and thusly always spinning at engine speed. The whoosh is constant and it's overcooling the engine.
I have an OEM updated Behr unit on the way, I hope it's not a failure off the shelf. I've not read very many good things about these fan clutches.
Oh yeah one more thing- I feel like a total schmuck for buying the special 8mm stubby socket and lock rod when I could have scrounged a piece of stiff wire and regular 8mm hex key and improvised extension tube which it turns out seem to work better anyhow.
