Don't know about this issue re: Mazda.... but all other cars will cut off when the battery is disconnected, if the alternator is dead (bad). In the olden days, the alternator was called a "generator". That's because it continuously generated power for lights, horns, etc. That "generator" regenerates/recirculates power to keep the car cranked, but when you turn on your lights, the generator cranks out more power for the extra load. With a bad generator (alternator), your car's system does not have enough amps to keep the system running.

Replacing battery terminals??? How did you accomplish that. Do you mean you replaced the battery or are you referring to the battery cables? If you replaced the cables are you sure you have them connected correcty and tight. Especially the ground connection. Take a reading with an ohm meter from the neg battery post to the engine or chassis. If the circuit is open, you have a bad connection.
