If you are talking about the breakers inside the box (switches) it means that particular circuit exceeded it's limit in amperage and "tripped" the circuit breaker. This most often occurs when you have started an appliance or some electric apparatus. So first you must unplug whatever you suspect caused the breaker to trip and then "reset" the breaker by flipping it all the way to off then back to on. The red line should be gone. Try whatever you initially plugged in when it tripped and see if it functions normally. If it trips again you should call a licensed electrician to trouble shoot that circuit.

How and where do i connect the 4 wires into the breaker box?
If your electric box has four wires in it, then it is a three phase four wire system. You should not be doing anything in this panel. It should be left to a qualified tradesman to do any work on three phase equipment.
Can you change an old 30A fuse box if it has 1r1b1w wire to a 15A gfci for a whirlpool tub outlet?
Yes you can. It involves working in the breaker box and changing out breakers. You'll also have to "re-identify" the black wire to green for your ground. If you think you can do this, post back and I'll provide details on how. Yes I Can! The fuse box has 2 30amp fuses. At the breaker box you'll need a single 15amp breaker. YOU CANNOT USE THE EXISTING 30AMP BREAKER! Attach the black wire to the new breaker and the white wire to the neutral bus (where all the other whites are attached). You now have a red wire remaining. You'll use this as the ground wire. YOU MUST perform what is called "re-identifying" the wire by wrapping green tape around the wire. This lets someone know that the wire is a ground wire and not a hot wire (red is hot, green is ground). Attach this wire to the ground bus (where all the bare copper wires are). Wiring the GFCI is just like a standard receptacle (black and white on the terminals and your RED (which has now become a ground wire) on the green ground screw. Make sure to wrap the red wire with green tape at the GCFI also! This is very important!

How do I convert existing 3 wire 220 volt 20 amp breaker wire system to 110 volt from the box to the recepticle?
Assuming there is no neutral: 1) Turn off the breaker. 2) Disconnect 1 of the 2 hot wires from the breaker and connect it to the neutral bar (Recommend phase taping the wire white :) ) Remember which wire you used as the neutral, in a home you will most likely have a black and a red. I would keep the black hot, and phase tape the red wire white. If it's not long enough you can wire nut another white wire onto it to make it reach the neutral bar. 3) Leave the breaker OFF, at the receptacle, change it to a 120 volt receptacle. Take the wire you made the neutral, and connect it to the white screw on the 120 v receptacle, and take the black to the hot. Ground to the ground screw. Make sure you phase tape the red wire at the receptacle white as well. 4) turn the breaker on 5) test the receptacle with a meter or receptacle testing device for correct wiring.
What does the red light on the gfci outlet mean?
It means the breaker has been tripped. There are two possible ways to reset it - some have a button on the outlet (there may be several outlets on one circuit, so you may have to look around) the other is the main breaker in your breaker box. You'll need to find a reset the breaker.
How the use of the neutral wire provides three different sources of electrical energy?
It is the ground return for the two different phases of your AC supply line providing 115 volts between it and the red or black breaker supply lines in your breaker box. For 230 volts the common is not connected and the red and back lines supply 230 vacfrom breakers
