Have my beetle in shop. They said it was fixed, before I got home it began to run rough when I stopped. I took it back, it has been there a week and they can't figure it out. When you turn on anything electricall it makes the engine run rough. They believe it is a short somewhere but can't find it. Can you help? It did not do this before I took it there the first time. They replaced oxigen sensor, mass air fow sensor, plugs and wires and tail light switch and headlight.

If everything electrical affects the way the engine runs, I would suspect a body to engine ground wire that is not making good electrical contact. If you can't find the ground wire, you can try running a new one.
