2007 Saturn Ion radio will not turn on. At first, no volume so I shut the vehicle off and back on and it appeared okay. The radio never turned on the next time I started the vehicle. I checked all three fuses but all are good. Removed harnesses from back of radio and plugged them back in and could here the CD player buzz a bit but the radio is still not functional.

This is a very common problem on GM vehicles. The security system is notoriously known to fail. Basically when you insert your key, the system checks for a certain signal. If the system cannot get the correct signal from the key, it assumes the key is incorrect or you are attempting to hotwire it. The system then goes into SECURITY lockout mode. (prevents vehicle theft) This will either turn off the starter, or the fuel injectors. This has been happening with GM's for a very long time. There is a company called Newrockies inc. that sells a bypass for this online. Works great.
Good news - they're adjustable. The radio is used to adjust the vehicle's chime level. To change the volume level of the chime, press and hold push-button 6 with the ignition on and the radio power off. The volume level will change from the normal level to loud, and LOUD will appear on the radio display. To change back to the default or normal setting, press and hold push-button 6 again. The volume level will change from the loud level to normal, and NORMAL will appear on the radio display.
Note: Each time the chime volume is changed, three chimes will sound to indicate the new volume selected.
if the radio cant find a station when you push seek then this is an antena problen it may have simply pulled out the back of the radio do to vibration of the vehicle. this almost sounds impossible but it happens if this is not the case then you need to invest in a new radio
The 2009 Saturn Aura added the bluetooth (phone) feature and many other GM models with similar looking radios had it in past model years. The 2007 did not come with bluetooth (or Human Machine Interface).
There are two possibilities: the radio has been changed from another vehicle and is incompatible with your car or locked or your OnStar is malfunctioning. Either situation will require a trip to your friendly Saturn dealership (or Saturn Service Center) to repair.
Put the key into the keyhole and turn it counter clockwise. Now, if you want to lock all doors without using the key or the remote key fob, you can press the lock button your door. The car will chime a few times, then shut your door. About 5 seconds later, all doors will lock. Neat, huh?
