Ignition Problems?

Hi guys, I need some help. Last night my XJ played dead. At first I thought it was a shorted ground I found after I installed a aftermarket stereo. The ground that is attached to the lower dash screw by your left knee. The screw has loosened before, but after my last episode, I used some lock tight. I checked it, nope, it was tight.

I observed that my steering wheel did not lock after I took the key out. I called my buddy w/ a 2000 ( I have a 96) and he thought his locked. So I tried to turn it to engage the steering wheel to lock, but no luck. I finally adjusted the steering wheel tilt and it went away today. At least for the time being. What is the problem?
1- Ignition worn out?
2-Electrical short?

Please help.

Thx

PLATZIE
