What can cause the cluster panel to go out and come back on while driving

Mrsdavis

The cluster panel on my 2016 Ford Escape went blank for a few seconds and then came right back on , I don’t think the vehicle shut down though , I was on the highway going 70
I drive 111 miles to work so it scared the crap outta me , I kept driving on to work and it didn’t do it again but it had me worried

Could be a blown fuse or defective instrument cluster. Was there any erratic behavior from the gauges?

Not that I could tell , it happened so fast , I didn’t even check to see if the gas gauge or temp gauge did anything
