I have a off camera flash that I can't get to work any suggestions

What is the specific issue? Does it power on? What camera and/or trigger are you using to control it? Are you controlling via radio or line-of-sight?

In addition to Ricky's questions, have you confirmed that it works correctly when on the camera hotshoe?

Please, you'll really need to be more specific. How do you have it connected? In the hot shoe? But by the title of your post, you mention "off camera". So are you triggering it via optical line of sight or radio? And with what specific trigger? Again, you need to provide details in order to help you.

So on the camera it won't flash? The confusion is that your thread title says off camera.
Does it flash if you fire the test button? (I.e. separate a flash problem from a camera problem).

It's a off camera flash instead of a in camera flash

If you have the flash physically connected to the camera's hot shoe, it is ON camera. Only when you have the flash not connected to the hot shoe is it considered OFF camera. And off-camera can be controlled in one of many ways to include a sync cable, built-in flash to be an optical trigger, master flash in the hot shoe to be a trigger (optical or radio), or a dedicated radio trigger in the hot shoe such as an ST-E3-RT.
