Have you tried turning it on and off again?

1) No srsly, red often means no power... so you might wanna check on that first.

3) Maybe your reactor doesn't provide enough power to fuel them?

2) Are they built up entirely?

4) Is there any chance that they aren't connected correctly (inventory access side of the blocks not facing each other)?

5) Is there any chance that they aren't connected at all (like you accidentaly built them on different ships, and now there's a little space somewhere, and they aren't connected)?

6) Try using the connector to control other parts of your ship / station, that are only connected over through conveyor tubes (so you see if it leaks). This would mean there is no power connection between the connector and the rest of the ship, which would be a problem.

7) Have you set the conveyor tubes the right way? They only provide a connection to the open sides, so every connector tube has only 2 sides where it transmits power and items.

there sounds like a break in the chain somewhere at each end of a conveyor system tubes must have either a conection to conveyor or item that feeds or stores. As in refinery ,cargo holds ,drills, ginders, etc . The thing is they will go yellow if they have a conveyor tube with conveyor each end but stay red if theres an open ended line , and corners can be managed with a corner tobe instead of conveyor cube. try replaceing see it if goes red this will show the break is between that coner and the rest of base. Also if you have some modded conveyor tube or joint that may be an issue too.
