Canon ex580 speed lite

I just got my speed flash, so it all new to me. On the front of the flash there are three AF sensors , My question is, should they all light up when you press the shutter button?, because only one does. Thanks,Dom.

No.

One is IR(infrared) sensor. If this one comes on, you can not see it. It's invisible to the naked eyes. Only animals, snakes and IR cameras can see it.
The red light that you see when pressing lightly on the shutter button is the AF assist light, not a sensor.

You can see that by looking at a mirror.

Flash not working

Are you sure your flash not working does affect the AF?
Check the menu for the auto focus setting, if it is still in ON.
And you did not switch off the flash yourself?
Is the lightening loge visible on the display and then the flash still does not fire?
The flash can be switched off to, for instance when you are in a museum. Check all settings. The manual must be online still with Canon USA.

I'm trying to use my canon speed lite 199a on my

The 199A is not designed to be a wireless controller. It was designed long before wireless control of flash units was available in consumer flash units. You'll need to use the built-in flash, a more modern Canon (or compatible) controller, or some other wireless setup (possibly radio).

Brand new out of the box 18-55 lens won't focus No stabilization. fits my t2 the 55-250 works fine I have cleaned the contacts and made sure the af-m switch is on af It will take photos in manual...

Okay let me get this straight, you mounted a Canon EF-S 18-55mm lens on a Canon T2. That's the Canon Rebel T2 right a film camera? If so you just can't do that because you mounted a digital lens on a full frame camera it's a wonder it allowed a manual shot the A6 is an error code for Transmission can not be made. The reason the 55-250 works is because it's a film lens or "Full Frame" where as the EF-S lens is for an APS size sensor with a 1.6 factor.

AF Beam Cover

Check out LEE Filter or Kodak IR Filter
Place that filter over AF Sensor.

Or try ti find remote(TV/VCR/DVD/radio) control unit with a large filter over led.

You can still glue those broken part and glued it back as close as possible.
