Connect voltmeter black lead to ground ( engine block, whatever ), use the red lead to measure voltage on each wire of the plug.
If both read 12 v, then clutch is NOT energized.
If one reads 12 v and the other 0 v or close to it, then the clutch should be energized.
With ignition turned on, but engine not started, if one lead reads 12 v and the other does not, then there is an open circuit in the clutch coil.
Another simple way to test is with the engine running, touch a wire connected to ground to the black/pink wire of the connector, the clutch should engage.
