Check to see if your Radio (Acc) or the Radop (Batt1) fuse is blown on the Interior BCM board. The fuse board is behind panels in the console area.
Testimonial: "I'll check that tomorrow. It may also be an issue with the ignition key cylinder, which sticks a little. Perhaps the chimes aren't going off because the cylinder never gets to the locked position? Just a guess based on a suggested answer below."

This is a common problem with the older saturns. The issue is in the key cylinder for the ignition. The way to fix it involves replacing the key cylinder, which in those cars is a total pain. It requires dismantling the steering column, drilling our the old lock, and replacing it with a new one. Problem is, it has to come from Saturn. There used to be a kit available from the dealer for about $120. I don't think it's available anymore. My wife's car has the same problem.
SOURCE: no chime with headlights on or key in ignition
you need to replace the chime control and you need to have the transmisson oil filter serviced and the oil replaced and add some lucas transmisson additive to get it to stop slipping, transmissons slip over time because of sticking valves and bands that are hardened.

Perhaps your battery is in need of replacing, in the Handheld Ponder?

Sounds like the contact for the key chime in the steering column is shorted to ground. The only way to get the contact is to buy the clockspring. If you can live with it leave it alone. The clockspring is labor intense. You have to remove the airbag,steering wheel, and trim around column. If you ar mechanically inclined you could just disconnect it by cutting the wire going to the chime. It is under the key tumbler. I hope this helps.
