Radiator fluid not getting hot but light going on.

A friend down at work is having a problem with her Dodge Caravan.
She's had the water pump, the thermistat, radiator, etc., replaced but
the overheating light still goes on. Strange thing is , she says, is
that when she checks the fluid she can stick her finger in the
radiator, its not hot at all. Anyone got a notion what could be wrong ?
