Worth checking in any case, as if something else has shorted, then it could have done further damage.
The reg/rec might be rogered too, but from what he is saying, it is not slowly grinding to a halt, it is just suddenly 'shutting down' - i.e. as if you just cut all power!! No mention of blown fuses, so that is something more sinister/fundamental!

A reg/rec problem is where it doesn't charge the battery (or overcharges), at the point the battery is depleted, everything will still work just be very dim!!
