ah yes. The seat. No; no fun at all.

If one knew how to read the Bentley electrical diagrams and IF there's
a connector under dash for wires to door lock actuator (and power
mirrors, windows if so equipped), one could connect 12 volts there to
actuate just that door lock.

I bet a healthy charged battery will work this out.
