It is difficult to tell from the picture due to the wires going off screen and a hand blocking the leads on the spike, but based on the swapped red and blue wires on the power distribution board in the lower left (third picture) it is possible that the red wire is actually ground. Maybe the OP can confirm.

OP, it is against the rules to wire with blue wires attached to + and red wires attached to -, per R49. This will also make it easier on yourself and others when troubleshooting electrical issues.
