Normally the problem is heater resistor underhood ,or a/c relay stuck on . it could be more complicated if you have a Riviera with touch screen for radio ,a/c control, an other.

SOURCE: 1996 buick riviera blower motor will not shut off

The blower motor control module needs to be replaced, that will solve the problem. The module is underneath the hood on the firewall in the back. It has 2- 6mm screws. Unplug it, pull it out, put the other one back in. Plug it in. This is common for this model buick.

SOURCE: Air conditioner/heater blower fan on 1997 Buick

it will be hard to diagnose with out having my hands on it but try this.

this vehicle is known for blower motor resistor failure.

under the dash on the passenger side next to the blower motor there is a resistor attatched to the blower motor case it will have a single plug with 5 or 6 wires in it, they are normally within a couple of inches of the blower motor, remove this resistor and look at closely for any signs of burning this is a common problem, you can buy one at any parts house, do not operate the motor with the resistor removed from its mounting hole or you will damage it.

if the resistor looks good than purchase you a test light and drop me a line and i will explain how to test the entire system its not hard to do.

SOURCE: My heater in the Mercedes c240 1999 car is not

the control valve unit behind the dash either broke or stuck. the car has two set of control valves, one for passenger and on for the driver. It common for the unit to fail on all cars some has better luck than others. inside of the valves made out of rubber, over time if it not move regularly it can seized from heat and it get stuck and the motor may have a hard time turning and adjust the valves itself. the only way to get to it and work on it, the dash has to come apart. the part may be cheap if it need it, the bad part is time consuming getting to it and its all mechanic nightmare and the labor will get you. The fan keep coming on, you may have to change the thermostat switch sensor, it could be faulty and not sensing correct temperature causing the fan to stay running. at the same time I would go ahead and have the thermostat it self change, you will have replace that soon or later and you don't want the car leaving you stranded and overheating. by running the heater believe it or not, it also help cool down the the engine a bit. hope that help some

Check the blower motor speed control resistor pack is ok.
(The resistor pack is usually located in the blower fan ducting in the air flow).
Check condition of electrical connection terminals on the blower motor circuit - these terminals pass considerable current and over time may fatigue overheat and loosen.
Check operation/replace any blower motor control relay,
Check the blower motor will run if +12v directly applied to the blower motor.
Check operation of the blower motor speed control switch is ok.

Why does my blower fan stay on max with car off?

i will now read the online service manual to you.
https://eautorepair.net/Marketing/Default.asp

blower fan located where. dash heater blower fails
or radiator fans of some odd kind added later.
coolant fan or dash? there are 2 coolant fans and 3 relays to run them and all 3 relays, can fail and coolant fans blow for ever and ever. fuse 6 kills the relay coils. only, so if relay is welded fans blow endlessly. even if bcm is removed from the car.
on the other and the heater blower is 100% controlled by the BCM

so car engine starts and runs and drives ok right.
when did car last run perfectly> , or seen ever ?
service manuals for 88 cars are not easy to find
means real oem manuals, best. 35 years old !
no digital then ,just a huge paper bound book, remember?
holy moly this 88' has a body controller here, bcm , relic amazing thing.
facts: 1988
here is proof

My GMC Envoy keeps blowing the 10 amp fuse for the heaters.I unplugged the front blower fan but it still does it. Is the other fan in the consul?

The fuse isn't for blower motor. I saw a fuse 39 and fuse 36 both 10 amp, both for hvac. I don't know which one is blowing? One fuse is for actuator doors under the dash, the other is battery voltage to hvac control module. One is hot all the time, the other goes hot with key on.
What is model year? Does it blow as soon as you turn on the key? Any applicable hvac trouble codes? About all I can do is track wiring circuits.

I Have a 1998 Buick Rivera Blower does not blow i have power to the relay under the rear seat i have pulled the blower motor. by passed and motor fine no power to fuse left side of dash is there a rel

Not sure hat rely you are checking but the blower motor does. To have a relay in the rear fuse block. The fuse you're checking protects the HVAC computer. The HVAC computer uses that circuit to monitor the voltage going to the blower motor.

The most likely problem is the blower motor resistor, aka blower motor module, blower motor speed control. It is typically located near the blower motor. The red wire is power from the battery and should be there all the time. Black is ground. Purple is power to the blower. Grey/black is the speed input from the HVAC module.

I have a 1991 Buick Park avenue with 44,000 miles that is not blowing air through the vents. I just put a brand new resistor in and that changed nothing. The fan spins at a low speed when the car is turned...

Switch the relay with one of the other relays to make sure that this relay is good then go to the HVAC control programer which is behind the floor vent (middle). The Blk/gray wire is the one that supports the relay coming out of the HVAC programmer, but there is a chance that this programmer is bad. If that proves to be the case, I may even have one...let me know.

No blow

Most likely it is the Output Driver Module for the Fan. Your RIV has an extensive diagnostic available. Go to CLIMATE and press OFF and TEMP down arrow at the same time. Hold in and the car will go into the service mode. Read codes for the HVAC
