The car died as soon as the terminal came off the car. Start the engine again and see if the red cable gets very hot to the touch. Many times there is so much corrosion at the end of the red wire that the resistance is too high to allow 14V to get to the battery. Check the voltage at the other end of the red wire also, right on the alternator.

You can replace just the voltage regulator, leaving the alternator in place. It is tight to get the rear plastic cover off (phillips screwdriver), but better than taking half of the car apart.
