In the past week or so, i have had 3 instances in which I have gotten into the car to find the instrument cluster off, and it does not seem to start. With the Coronavirus restrictions, I have not been using the car every day, so that may be a factor. But I don't recall a case in the past when the instrument cluster would not start promptly after entering the car. The center screen, yes, it is normal for that to be dark initially and then boot up, if the car has been parked for a while.
I tried to reboot the instrument cluster at least one of those times, using the upper steering wheel switches, but nothing happened. But when I rebooted the center screen, then the instrument cluster did start. And it worked normally after that, for the rest of that trip (which may have included a short stop). So when it happened again, I went directly to rebooting the center screen.
Any similar experiences? Is this the sign of trouble? Or just something that happens when the car sits longer than usual...?
