Sounds like no coolant flow to me.
Check for missing water pump belt or stuck thermostat, but not as likely as:
Most likely is cracked or dislodged water pump impeller. Replace the water pump.

Why does radiator light go on when car is cold but only stays on for 2 minutes?
the light is triggered by a switch inside the overflow bottle, If the coolant level is low when the engine is cold, it will trigger the switch to turn on the light until the cooant warms up and expands. The hot water expands and flows through the radiator cap and into the overflow bottle and shuts the light off. Then once the engine is shut off and cools down, the coolant will flow back into the engine again and empty the overflow bottle. so if the light is on, you need to fill the overflow bottle to the "cold" mark.
