Should I Stay or Should I Go?

This is a puzzler for me.
When you happen upon a traffic signal (stoplight) that has no electricity, are you required to treat it like a four-way stop? Or simply to yield to the driver on the right?
In case you’re wondering, there was a big van following me closely, so I didn’t want to come to a full stop. Plus, there was no one in visible sight coming to the intersection from any other way.
I know a train has to treat a dead signal like a red light… Are Missouri drivers required to do the same? I did a pretty thorough re-reading of the MO Driver’s Guide, and couldn’t find any mention of it.
