Electric lock was an option and only locked so all 4 door cars even with the option had the standard manual "button" to control the rear locks from the inside. Push down to lock and pull up to unlock the rear doors. A plastic or rubber button should be located at the front lower corner of the window. If the car had been parted it is possible someone removed the mechanism and it is also possible that if someone tried to remove the buttons incorrectly part of the mechanism was broken inside the door.
It is not possible to lock or unlock rear doors from the outside. The latch locking mechanism operates by a long rod coming from the button. It does not have the pieces the key cylinder on the outside handle needs to convert rotary to linear motion to operate the locking mechanism.
The button mechanism and location are shown in the red circles.
