I've seen this described once or twice here without any definitive resolution on what the heck happened...
Was on a longer drive, topped up at an EA station for my trip home. I was a little sleepy so pulled into a rest area to take a nap.
I have no idea if this is important - but I turned the truck off, opened & closed the door to shut off the entertainment system (was listening to a podcast via Apple CarPlay), used the door button to lock the doors, and then reclined the driver seat for a nap...
After waking up, I returned the seat to normal position, hit the Start button.... and the 15" center screen lit up like normal but the Instrument Cluster stayed dark! There was a dim peripheral blue glow around it (as others have described) but no data displayed on the screen at all!
I shut the vehicle off & restarted several times, including opening, closing, locking & unlocking the doors - no dice, the panel stayed dark!
I was able to drive safely home (using other cars on the road to judge my speed) - it appeared the lane assist & BlueCruise were functioning like normal, but with a dark screen.
After getting home & googling, I did a "12V reset" (after checking the "Software Update" screen to make sure nothing was happening) and now everything works normally!
I've seen 3 or 4 reports of this happening - anyone ever find out what the heck is going on? Did my non-standard sequence of shutting things down contribute? (Or is that just a red herring?)
