Passenger side, First had issue with not opening. Now when door closes grinding sound happens for about 5 seconds and goes off. Is there an adjustment, motor relay?

Does it seem like it could be related to the power door locks?

Good morning, doesn't seem related to door locks. This happens when I shut off lights or am using twilight feature where lights come on in my garage and automatically go off. The grinding happens when door is in the down position. When I say grinding it sounds like something isn't dis-engaging. I did see some grey dust on what I think is motor. What I think is drive motor is in front of manual operation knob where you can open and close doors manually, assume this is for emergency operation. I have not removed motor yet, appears to be 3 mounting screws and nuts. Assume some kind of gear mechanism drives linkage to headlamp door.

Hope this helps thanks
