When you enable closed-loop control on the Jaguar, it expects input from a sensor (either an encoder of some kind or an analog sensor of some kind like a potentiometer). Optionally, you can use normally-closed limit switches to act as hard stops for the Jaguar. You can wire these to the Forward and Reverse limit switch ports on the Jaguar. Since the switches need to be normally closed, jumpers need to be placed on the Jaguar so that it reads a closed position. If you don't have jumpers plugged in but are using closed-loop control without limit switches, it will go to blinking red because it detects a limit switch fault condition.

Also, for your first problem with the wrong direction for everything. If you invert your values, it will work. Put a negative in front of your speeds.
