Toyota Crown GS130 He****
Interesting vehicle. I'd probably remove all the apparatus and find a more recreational use for all that space.. 😜😜 -

Current Drain
That fault is pretty common on most modern cars to be honest. I watch a youtuber called "Diagnosis Dan" and the amount of parasitic drain videos he's covered is amazing. You can pretty much find which circuit is causing the drain by using an amp meter and go through and probe each circuit until you see the high amperage draw. On Toyotas particularly, you need to put the car to sleep and wait for around 20 mins, then test. You can simulate this by latching the hood with the hood open and latching the doors if you need any of them to be open during the test. Putting the car to sleep is the first most important step before any diagnosis can occur. Glad you were able to find the fault relatively quickly because not too many mechanics could be bothered with in depth electrical gremlins like a parasitic drain. -

Park Brake Adjustment
I have to do the parking brake shoes pretty soon, so keep an eye out for my DIY post on that. I was thinking maybe wait until I have to do the fronts and do the backs at the same time. I have a brand new set of Genuine rotors and pads to go into the front and a Genuine service kit for the calipers if required. Also have on hand the new brake shoes, Toyota Genuine Parts too, of course. I'll inspect the rear rotors and pads and see how they're fairing and maybe get those too and just give it the full kahuna and be done with it. -

Park Brake Adjustment
No e-brake actually. It's a foot operated cable brake. I have yet to try and do the under dash adjustment and to be honest, haven't researched it either. -

Aircon problem need help
You should try and have your ECU scanned for any stored faults. It could be that either your climate control amplifier or the control module are playing up. Hard to say for sure, but it's worth scanning to see. -

Anyone had this Issue
I would take a look at the ECU itself. Pull the plugs, inspect them for any corrosion and if possible remove the ECU completely and open it up and see if anything is lurking inside. You could have some corrosion on the main PCB. Not knowing the history of your vehicle, I would guess if you live anywhere near the coastal regions, that moist, salty air can wreak havoc on electricals. You've practically replaced everything that "could" be wrong, but my money is on the ECU. If you find a cheap "spare" ECU at a local wrecker, buy it and keep it as a spare, cos you never know when you'll need one. If you end up using it, it will need to be coded by someone with an appropriate scan/diagnostic tool or laptop with specific software. No big deal. There are plenty around who can provide this service. -

Camry high rise spoiler
Could it be a JDM only thing ?? That could be why it's rare. The kit looks quite good to be honest. -

Anyone have this issue?
I'm going to take a stab and say that there may be a geo block set up in your part of the world so drivers don't have the upper hand when it comes to negating safety cameras, or it could be a dead zone. You mentioned that it's the same on all the other platforms, so it could be either.
