Thanks for the quick reply. I should have been clearer in my prior post. I only see the front of the clutch turning slightly when I have the a/c selected to on, inside the car. The front of the clutch pulley doesn't turn at all in the "0" position of the a/c selector panel.
I am getting a DTC 6 on socket 8, which is an a/c belt slipping, but when the underhood temps are really hot here in Arizona, I sometimes get a lockout on startup anyway and have to restart the engine to clear it (at least for the past few years). So this code has been a regular event for me in the summer. Maybe this is a sign of a wearing clutch.
Is the clutch something that is either an on/off device or does it weaken with age? I will pull the connector tomorrow and check the voltage.
