It sounds like it thinks the min. Endstops are triggered.
Try inverting or un - inverting them in Marlin.
Try fitting the endstops and getting them working.
It may be something to do with stepper direction signal but that should work normally as default. I don't think that many people have trouble with that.

Edit: The red led on the Ramps board would be just a sign that an output is on - your solenoid probably. There's a led for each of 3 outputs.
