Get Him to buy a British sportscar.
This might have already been said, but what if you compare electricity to water?
Comes into and Goes out of make sure it doesn't travel through you. Electrons return to Earth, if that is your planet.
Hopefully I can gain some benefit from this discussion without derailing the topic. 
I, too, appear to be a complete idiot when it comes to automotive wiring. Give me busted parts that I can see, hear, and touch, and I'm great. Give me trailer lights that absolutely should work, therefore they don't, and I've been known to go absolutely ballistic.
In my case, I have the basic understanding of volts, amps, watts, ohms, etc. I even have an Extra class ham license (KJ1H), but it's a new fangled one that doesn't require a whole lot of electrical know-how beyond a few very specific areas. My problem is taking the next step - knowing how to apply that knowledge to automotive electrical problems. I don't do so well when I can't look at the thing, see the busted axle, and say "Well THERE'S your problem!"
Leave the power on. Darwin is a great teacher.
