Could be a broken wire where soldered to the bulkhead, but best guess is the hot shoe connector. Either it is not going completely into the camera shoe, or its contacts are stuck. See sketch at bottom of following URL:

I have been in contact with Ikelite, and we think we'vew narrowed down the problem to a short between the quench and trigger wires. Parts are on their way from Ikelite....stay tuned.

Just in case anyone was wondering, I ended up getting a replacement Cord sent over from Ikelite and I received it within 4 days of sorting it out with Ike, I was very happy with this! Now that I had a new cord I thought I may as well investigate the old cord so pulled it apart to discover two broken wires at the end of the metal fitting on the Cable Gland, my best guess is that I must have hit something with it or bent it too hard, unfortunately I didn't take note of which end was which before taking it off my housing so don't know wether it was the strobe or housing end.

I too, received parts from Ikelite in record time. I have repaired the faulty bulkhead wiring harness, and all is working OK. Many thanks to "Ike" and Roger C., they gave me amazing warranty service. Thank you!
