Alright. Tried everything that was suggested. Even gave the flash to another person and he tried it on his body. No luck. In manual mode the flash works at the correct time. Weird. Thanks for that advice! At least there now is a work around. Not too easy, but better than nothing. Another weird thing came with it though. If I turn the flash to point to right, it does not fire at all in M mode. It fires in ETTL mode, but at the wrong time.
I guess it makes no sense to get this flash repaired either. A second hand copy is surely cheaper than getting this fixed.

Obvious question, but what is your shutter speed?
The flash communicates well with the body. 1/200 is the max sync speed on 5D3. I've tried all kinds of shutter speeds and flash modes. High speed flash or second curtain don't work either.

I do not have any suggestions but am certain that this is an operator error. Something you are doing that need fixing. Not the gear.
Right right. Must be me and not the gear.
The other guy who tried the flash sucks too.
