Default real newbie amp question

I'm aware this post prolly makes me sound stupid but here it goes

I had one amp in, and 1 night it stopped working. The light comes on but status goes to red. I put my other amp in and within a day it also powered up and the status light just turns red.

What could be the problem?

If you have a multimeter or a friend with one, check the resistance between the speaker wires and the chassis.
