Sometimes they work, others they don't. There is a humming sound when the button is pressed.

Sounds like a bad relay. I had the same issue with a different car, but same symptom.

Just to add to this one is this a S model saturn or a L model saturn?Sounds like the door lock actuators are staying on and overheating causing them to be inop.I need to know what model you have?Can you ever hear the door lock actuators to continue to run without the door lock switch being pushed?
