details: all led's on the touch pad work except the autowash and time delay. the stop/drain works and the drain pump starts pumping when pressed. the start light will not come on and it will not start when it is pressed. when i press the heavywash, medium wash and light wash the led's for the different cycles work but when i press the autowash button the led's dont change nor will the dishwasher come on when the start button is pressed. NOW with that said the other night i was messing around in the kitchen and hit the autowash button and it came on then i hit the start button and it started. wtf? then it never worked again after that one episode. please help and supply part number to the touch pad if you have it available. thanks in advance for your help. mdbh968aws3 maytag dishwasher topveiw touch pad

Here are your parts

Not sure about the 3 at the end of your model number.

Here is a tech sheet

Control Panel is Item 1 in Section 1.

The usual way to trouble shoot this is to read then switch outputs from the control panel (keypad) with a meter.
Perhaps you just have a bad start key.

If the keypad checks out OK then it is probably the control board that is toast. Still a bit of a crap shoot but your odds are better.

You may want to try the following
Connector Cleaning / Checking
Unplug the unit
Open it up
Remove the ribbon cable from the keypad to the control board at the control board.
Clean the edge connector.
If it is the type where there is not a connector just the insulation is removed, it can be cleaned with a pencil eraser. Do not use an ink eraser as it is too abrasive.
Check the tracks in the ribbon cable for hairline cracks. A magnifying glass helps here.
Would not hurt to clean the connector on the board. Use electronics contact cleaner or isopropyl alcohol and a tooth brush. Be gentle and do not reconnect till all the solvent evaporates.
Reconnect everything and give it a try.
