Default Headlight door

My left headlight door on my 01 was not wishing to open. I horsed around a bit with the manual control and, after screwing around some, got it to open when I turned on the lights. Now, here's the problem:

When I shut off the lights, the door closes and I hear a ratcheting(or almost grinding) noise for about five seconds after it closes. Just on the one side door. I am sure my local dealer can figure it out for me but I hate to have to re-finance my home to get it done.

Any bloggers out there ever had this prob and know the fix? Thanks way in advance.
