Okay so I fixed my windows, broken wires in the doors, but now I can't get my hood open I already tried manually opening the latch through the hood. The drivers side released but the passenger side won't give. Any ideas on how to get it open.

All 4 Doors had broken wires?

There is some threads on the hood not opening issue I remember none of the details. It has been several years since I have seen someone post with that problem.

Exclamation

Some thing amiss here as there's only _one_ hood latch on a 1982 W123 so how can only one side of the hood be opening / .

"The drivers side released but the passenger side won't give" I believe that the inside hood release is the drivers side and the front hood release/tab is on the passenger side."

On mine once you pull the inside hood release of you go outside and pull up on the hood the Tab/release extends making it easier to grab.

In the past some have had the mechanism that operates when you pull the tab malfunction.
