In a 1996 Buick Riviera, the fan switch is typically located on the dashboard, integrated into the climate control system.

If you're having trouble finding it, consult the owner's manual for specific details about your vehicle's layout.

In 1985 my FANS and I would exchange Belts one for one at our favorite bar. I we hade to many then definitly ended up Buicking in the old Riviera what order to replace them
There is a small braket at the bottom of the engine that needs to be removed to slip the old belt off and put the new one on. Remove it or loosen one end so you can get the belt around it. One of the pulleys is a spring loaded idler/tensioner for the belt. Use a wrench on the center bolt of this pulley to remove enough tension to allow the belt to slip off. Save this pulley for last when you put the new belt on and repeat the same operation with the wrench. There should be a diagram in the engine compartment to show how the surpentine belt goes around all the pulleys. If not, note how the belt runs before removing it.
You move the tensioner's arm with a breaker bar. The map for the belt is usually glued to the radiator support, or underneath the hood. The schematic for a 1999 Buick LeSabre fan belt routing is in Section 6 page 66 of the owners manual.
