Lift up the back seat, it is nestled under there
Or you can open the hood and look on the passengers side for a thick cable that is just held on to the car by a big lug-nut plug the red wire to it and the black one anywhere metal so it can ground itself to the car its much easier than lifting the backseat
When i got my 1996 Buick Riviera I that was my first question, how do I jump this car under the hood? First of all there is a plastic box (black) under the windshield washer filler tank about 3 inches wide and 1/34 inches deep. In the box is a positive cable that leads to the battery so hook up your cables there and find a ground on the frame for the negative cable. I like having the battery under the seat it doesn't get overheated or terribly cold. Good Luck
If it jump starts, the problem is probably either the battery or a corroded battery connection terminal.
A 1996 Buick Regal will jump start using a portable battery pack. Another person can also use jumper cables to help jump start another car.
Yes, you can jump-start a Buick Lucerne without removing the seat. The battery is located in the trunk, so you'll need to access it through the trunk area. Simply connect the jumper cables to the battery terminals in the trunk and then to the donor vehicle's battery, following standard jump-starting procedures.
Since the battery is under the quarter panel by the driver's side tire, there is your positive and negative terminals up top where you would hook the booster cables to to jump the car.

To jump-start a 1999 Buick Riviera, you'll need jumper cables and another vehicle with a functioning battery. First, park the working vehicle close enough for the cables to reach both batteries. Connect the red cable to the positive terminal of the dead battery, then to the positive terminal of the good battery. Next, connect the black cable to the negative terminal of the good battery and attach the other end to a metal ground on the dead vehicle, then start the working vehicle and allow it to charge the dead battery for a few minutes before attempting to start the Riviera.
It would depend on the condition of the battery and if the battery charger has a jump start mode.
