It's a wagon. Climb over the seats or fold them first to make a flat floor then you have all the access to the battery you need. 8-)

A used cooling fan is under $100 off Ebay, takes about 20 minutes to replace

I think it looks like this (not sure if the same exact model)

The door lock is seized because never used, use a little bit of Liquid Wrench on outside around the barrel and a little bit inside (really, no need to soak it), then start trying to turn a little bit the key without forcing (or if the key doesn't even go inside the lock, start by pushing gently the key inside over and over again). Keep trying gently, it should work again in less than 10 minutes.

That cooling fan won't suit a P2.

Forgot to mention that In the engine bay is a jump strart point. Connect another car or another battery or a charger to boost your electrical system to allow locks to work.
