Hi,
Rarely I have run in some GPU issues at some FBO's, in the past fix was changing the GPU. The indication is GPU connected as CAS message but GPU enable button no light, so no function.
Last week have realised if the GPU delivers more than 30V the light goes not on, so turn down the GPU power below 30V and all good.

It should help if you turn the A/C on when you "catch the gpu connection", but gotta keep on eye on it, otherwise it can drop the gpu if you go away from the airplane and may have end with empty batteries

Please remember that one of the GCU1 functions is to protect the acft electrical system against undervoltage (below 24.5VDC) and overvoltage (29 VDC or 30 VDC depending on the Avionics Software Load), meaning the GCU1 isolates the GPU in those situations and that's why the light does not come on and the GPU does not connect to the acft electrical system.
