I have a 2000 trans am and the same thing just happened to me tonight, when i use the remote to unlock the car the lights flip up and down and then the passenger one grinds for like 5 seconds after it is down. Both lights still work, they both flip up and turn on, but now when I lock, unlock the car or turn the lights on and off the one sounds like it is grinding the gears. Anyone have any input for us..???
Thanks
