The red wire you saw is a traveler wire used in 3 way switch setups.

Walter123, while you are correct, there was also a RED wire in each of the ceiling fans in our house that went to the wall switch, but was not connected. This can be used to provide separate control of the lights and the fan from the wall switch. Of course the wall switch needs to be replaced to do this.
