Then the question is:

with the car in the "On" position but engine not started, is the amount of force needed to turn the steering wheel the same as when the initial problem occured?

If so, it's not a lock issue.

If not, it's an isolated lock issue that is most likely related to a bad steering input sensor, motor, or both.
