Where did you get the chips from? Who installed the eprom socket onto the board?
I would definitely finish your wiring however.

A steady red light mean an internal problem in the ecu. It sounds like the chips you have are bad. The 3500 rpm rev limiter is the ecu in limp mode, running off the backup maps. It means it's really pissed. I really wouldn't run some unknown chips in there, it's a good way to break something. Put the stock chip back in, finish the wiring and get it tuned the right way.

Are you putting the chips in the right way? If you are, and 1 of the 3 chips work, then the 2 that are bad likely have a bad bin (program) or are defective. Finish your wiring too. I never understood why people don't finish their wiring before screwing with stuff. I see you're located in Canada. I can burn 29C256 chips for the PR3, so if you're in the vancouver area I can maybe help you out.
