Hampton Bay Redington IV 52" ceiling fan w/remote

4 wires from the ceiling: White, Black, Red, and Green.
3 from the fan: White, Black and Blue.

Between them is a transmitter for the remote.
2 wires to the ceiling: White and Black
3 wires to the fan: White, Black, and Blue.

All wires have been connected to their counterpart (White to White, Black to Black, Blue to Blue, and Green to Green)Where I'm having a problem is, what do I do with the red wire? Right now I've capped the red wire and have it connected to no other wires. The fan or lights are not turning on.

Early in the day I installed another ceiling fan that was not controlled by a light switch, that set-up had no red wire and is working correctly. So I have to assume this red wire is to the light switch.
