Default 1999 SW2: Problem with door locks making noise and not locking

The noise is coming from the passenger door and is not operation the door
lock/unlock latches on the door next to the door handle inside. It sounds
like if it were a worm drive setup that the drive is skipping up and over
the gear and grabbing it. At any rate, however it is setup, it is not
working. It also seemed like it was a stuck relay before as it drained the
battery down to a dead nothing. It would not even take a charge from my 10
amp charger. It would kick out the circuit breaker on the charger. Took the
battery to Interstate as it is a 60 month just short of a year old. They
told me that the reason it would not take a charge and kicked out the
breaker was that,..... he explained that it is like a water hose with a kink
in it. Not sure I understood the analogy but I left the battery there and
with their setup it took a charge and held at 12.XX
Still don't know what is wrong with the SW2 though... I am looking for some
help here in that area. I took the fuse out of the r/h fuse box on the
passenger side under the radio on the kick panel. I did not take the one out
from the main box up under the hood in front of the master cylinder. With
the one fuse out, the remote will still make the doors attempt to
unlock/lock. Does the other fuse have to be out to completely open the
circuit? I am not sure where to start looking on this and even at this point
what really to look for. Do I need to take a door panel off? Keep in mind
that I want to leave that as a last resort with all other options of looking
for the cause of the problem exhausted...

Just to throw in my 2 cents with regard to all of the damn belly aching
about Saturn, The Obama nation (actually spelled Abomination) is one F&%@#ed
UP situation that we all have to deal with for the next four years. The ones
that are still 'sticking by his side' know they made a mistake. They just
will not admit to it. They never will.... Doesn't matter if they do or not.
We are all in the same sinking ship... Anly the stupid rats aren't jumping
off....
