Lights & dishwasher have mind of it's own

Push "normal" and the AutoClean button blinks 3 times then goes out. Press rinse only and quickwash light blinks 3 times. Dishwasher won’t start. Every so often I can get it to run by pressing the autoclean button which will light up a couple of the other buttons including the 2 hour delay light - push start and it will run a cycle. Do I need the control panel or control board??? Last time I ever buy a Maytag.
