An update from the guy that started this thread... I went to the car to get my sunglasses and figured I'd give it another try. Everything worked fine. I'm thinking I made the mistake that JohnnOhio describes above. In my case, though, I could shift into both forward and reverse, but nothing happened in either case. BTW, I called the dealer's service department and the advisor said he had seen it before. Said there were two possible causes. One was a fuse. Don't remember the other.
