I had a similar problem on the front passenger door, caused by the solenoid which operates the door mechanism seizing up.

Because the door is shut the only access to the solenoid ( on the front doors at least )  is to cut through the leather door panel/cover. The solenoid is held on by 2 bolts which can then be undone and then door mechanism will work fine lock/unlock etc manually.

Take off the leather panelling on the opposite door to get an idea of the location.

Go to my website below. There is a link to Johan & Sean's page. A very detailed description with many pics how to remove the doorpanel or the rear door when it cannot be opened, repair of the doorlock and many other things.
