    Ikelite 160 strobes not firing HELP

    I am after some assistance with my current camera setup

    Nikon D80 with Ikelite housing and two 160 strobes.

    in the conrtol pannel of the D80 the "Flash sync mode" is flashing when i try to take a photo and does not appear to be set.
    when i disconnect the sync cable the flash works fine but this would defeat the purpose as i require the use of the strobes under the water.

    I have reset the camera.
    I have change the flash setting on the camera it's self to auto/ Manual/ TTL to no avail.
    The cable the joins the housing to the camera is around the correct way and housing ttl mode is set to 160.
    I have tried to separate cables and strobs

    any suggestions would be appreciated as it will be most up setting if i have to send it back again.

    Signed very frustrated
