Why can't I get my camera to shoot in manual mode with flashes in the dark. Even in manual the camera is metering and won't fire? Help

I'm thinking, that if you're completely in the dark with the AF ON, the camera isn't finding focus and doesn't fire until it does. I know mine won't fire until it finds a focus. Might he have the AF assist lights turned off? Mine shoots great in the dark as long as they're on.
