As Joe said, check all the grounds (at the battery, the engine block,
etc).  Also, check the connections to the dual relay on the passenger
side firewall.  Finally, check connections to sensors at the front of
the motor, however I'm not sure a bad connection there will result in a
complete power off scenario.

Try jump starting the car.  There is a chance the battery ran dead, and
he didn't notice it while the car was running.
