Please supply the " Magic Reset" instructions - Where the doors are locked and then unlocked, etc... I apparently failed to print them out.

If you've done the battery disconnect and short, then you've done a magic reset.

Yes it should. If you pushed with with your hand, it may need more pressure than what your hand might supply, i.e.: use your foot. If you did use your foot, then it maybe you just can't feel it or the button "click" feel might be too subtle to notice (it's definately noticeable on my car). While I don't think this would be the cause of your problem, it functions by downshifting to the lowest possible gear when you've got the throttle floored. You'll definately notice the difference when this button is activated...
On second thought, maybe ask 'shogun' if this might be the cause of your problem if kickdown switch is activated all the time even when not driving with the pedal to the floor. I'm curious to know...
