No. A clicking relay does not mean it is working. I made this mistake when I replaced a radiator fan (checked the relay first to make sure it clicked at the advice of another forum thread) only to find that the fan was fine and the relay was the issue. ARRRRGGG!!! Then, a couple months later the other radiator fan failed (this time confirmed the relay actually worked before replacing). I replaced it with the fan a took from the other side, but it only lasted a couple weeks before it failed again. Double-ARRRGGG!!! Anyway, now I have 2 new fans, and I keep a spare relay just in case.
You can bench test the relay if you have a multi-meter, or just swap it with a known good relay.
