It sounds like you have a possible fuse box problem.  Something's got 
to be shorted in there.  Or else maybe a problem with the wiring 
harness in the steering column.  On american cars it takes a 
replacement of the turn signal switch (the plastic part that the 
lever goes into and incudes the wiring harness that includes the 
ignition switch wiring).  I would imagine that it's the same in your 
rocco.  HTH
