It sounds like the alternator has stopped charging and you are only running the car on what is left in the battery.
So the first thing is to determine why the alternator stopped charging.
A broken ground strap can certainly do that and a bad voltage regulator or a bad alternator.
Even the amp lamp wire broken can make the alternator stop charging but if that was the case, the light on the dash wouldn't have come on as long as the wire is not broken in a way so that the tip is touching ground somewhere.
