I do not have a FA but have an FG which has the same modes as FA (Aperture priority, Shutter Priority, Manual and Program). In all camera system which relies on mechanical contacts to relay aperture information to the camera the lens has to be set on the smallest aperture (or the highest f number) to be able to recognise the shutter priority or the program (full auto) mode.
Have you set the aperture to the highest f number (f16, f22 or f32 in most cases). All AFS lenses are AIs lenses and should work with your FA (except the G lenses as rightly pointed out).
If this does not work.. there is something wrong with the camera 
Hope this helps !!
