There were similar reports with the ELR 2014, most were resolved by disconnecting the 12 V battery for 2 minutes, good luck!!!.
2016 Instrument Panel Dead (blank)
I was out this morning doing some shopping and when I got back in the car and started it, noticed instrument panel was completely dead. Normal warning lights came on for a second during startup, but nothing else. Infotainment system was normal. Car drove normally
Did a few restarts with no change. I drove home ( luckily only a few miles) like that.
After getting out of the car, locking and unlocking the car ( thinks it's some sort of soft reset) everything went back to normal. Not sure what is going on, first time anything weird like that happening. Suppose I could have possibly done a bad start button push (i.e. Double tap)? Maybe it's IP address got confused?
Anybody else have an experience like that?

As STEVERINO will say be sure the 12 volts battery is in good shape and clean tight connected... My 2014 Volt did it once and "self fixed " itself, that was 3 yrs ago, a the day after a long hot day trip, I suspect was the 12 V battery low, I charged it for a couple of hrs and no problems since then...I have being charging the VOLT WITH 120 V 8 AMP, ON PURPOSE(I have the 240V charger), so the small 12v battery gets charged at least 8 hrs every night, with the 240 V only will be charged for 3-4 hrs max, I know that probably is non relevant, but slow continous charge has to be better then shorter charging times.
