Behind the glove box in the ventilation duct (the air moving through the ventilation duct keeps it cool ish)

Early Omegas with a rotary selector switch to set the fan speed do have an old fashioned resistor.

Later ones with climate control have an electronic speed controller but I think it still needs to be kept cool and lives in the same place int the ventilation duct.

Omegas have a drain hole in the scuttle that is prone to blocking. The rising water level can drown the speed controller and cause its early demise  :(
