One of these is more reliable than the original wiring
Snap circuit sets are cool - they aren't necessarily something you play with afterwards, but since he likes putting things together, he can take apart and rebuild endlessly. It's for 8 and up, but if he can read on an 8 year old level or just follow the charts, he should be able to do it. He can also try his own projects. They're fun.
Snapcircuits!
You can make all sorts of electrical projects with them, or invent your own stuff. Great for STEM-oriented education.
There is a company called Kiwi Crate that will deliver monthly projects to your house. I am considering ones for my 6 & 8 year olds for Christmas. Last year we got them snap circuits and they enjoyed those too.
Don't suppose you could give me some details on how the wiring works (pics would be helpful if you can take him apart)? The most electrical engineering I've done was following the instructions of one of these :/
Hijacking to give some tips on toys and fun activities that can help solidify all this in your brain if you're more of a tactile learner (don't feel bad that these are "kids'" toys, as most of the people I know really only use their children as an excuse to buy them...):
Snap circuits help you get the idea of electricity transmitting information. Plus the informational material is written for someone who is actually nine.

Then you can look at how those work a little further using Arduino:

Lego robotics also use Arduino:

You know how Lego has that picture by picture guide to building? Imagine learning robotics that way. My daughter at some point decided she didn't want to use Lego for whatever reason, though, so she's getting this for Christmas:

I realize these are costly items. But there are also budget versions and we also use programmr to help understand how code actually executes actions in an environment.
If you're interested in learning more, or if you know someone who is (especially a kid), hands on is really the way to start. Otherwise they'll be like me and take apart your electronics to see what's inside... that's also fun.
These things!?. They were my jam back in grade school.
Anyone who might find this in the future I decided on this snap circuit
I figure we can do it together and I think it'll be fun too!

I remember spending countless hours with Snap Circuits.
The buzzer was the most fun.
