As promised , If I figure anything out -good or bad- I'll let you all know.
That click will definitely go away after numerous reset attempts and the control module needs to be replaced, etc.. See below.

Definitely first go and do the reset procedure in the manual where you have to remove/re-insert the fuse in the under hood fise box with a few other steps. If that still does not do it, check for the recall anyway which will realign/set closure proximity of the door when in 'power sliding mode.' If you cannot find the reset steps, go to the numerous posts in this forum on auto sliding door, and proceed from there. On my '97 with 80k miles on it, did the reset thing, recall once, reset procedure numerous times for about 3 years (at least 1/month), until the control module in the pass side rear inside panel failed and needs to be replaced according to the dealer. Part was $280 in 2003 plus 2 hrs install. It is funny how they round up the hours when quoting. Needless to say, I am still using the door in unpowered mode, keeping it well-lubed when I can get the red extender tube from my spray lube near the numerous and well-hidden track rollers. I plan on hitting the salvage yard to pick up a used control module and hopefully that lasts until I dump this thing which outside of the rebulit tranny, new head and intake gaskets, t-stat, radiator, rear leveling shocks, it is still less than car payments.
