I'm glad to hear that. Electrical problems are really pretty easy to fix, and almost always can be traced to either a faulty switch or relay, a bad ground, or an overloaded circuit. If all of the ign. switched circuits are hot at all times, my money is on the switch itself, or the lock and tumbler. If jiggling the key has no effect at all on his dash lights (nice when the problem creates it's own test light for ya!), then it's time to check the fuse box. There is likely a wire or terminal at the fusebox that has gotten too hot, and has melted at somepoint, shorting itself to a live wire nearby, or was a live wire that melted itself to the switched circuit. If that turns out to be the case, he needs to determine which of the ign. switched circuits is causing such a high load, and inspect it looking for problems, or run it's high loads from a relay. Did he, by any chance, wire in an electric fan? If wired, without a relay, straight from any circuit, it will cause overheating of the wires in that circuit. They draw such a high load they really must be switched via a relay.
Keep me posted!
Take care
