Your bike has two "tank halves" on it instead of one tank. There is a hose that runs from the right side to the left side under the lower front of the tanks. Either this hose is stopped up or the nipple that it plugs onto is blocked with something. Run the left tank dry and the pull the hose loose from it at the lower front. See if the fuel flows out of the hose from the right tank. If not, keep working back until you find the problem. The right side fuel cap has the tank vent in it but that must be working because it supplies the vent for the left tank through a hose just under the speeodmeter.

Good Luck

I see plenty of inquiries about how the gas gauge will go from half then to empty on the internet, but never seen a fix. I have replaced the "jet pump" on the right side of tank, confirmed both...

It could be the sending units. Just because they ohm check okay while sitting still and at the same spot on the resistor does not mean they are good. Something is telling the system to move fuel. What about the control module? Is it adjustable or just bad?

When bike is sitting up right it bogs out and back fires won't stay running, but if put the kick stand and lean it to the side it clears up and runs good and when stand staight up again it starts to bog...

I would say you have problem in the tank with the fuel pump line. When you lean the bike on the kickstand all the fuel goes to the left side an covers the line which then creates enough fuel pressure to run the bike. If you filled the tank full it would probably run ok until the fuel level gets below the bad line.

Need to know about a fuel switch in a 2004 s type jaguar

the only switch i can think you are talking about is an inertia switch.
It is located in passenger side just above the floor,

The S-Type fuel pump is a complicated 'returnless-system' with an
electric pump on the right side and a 'jet-pump' on the left side
to pump fuel back to the right side. The tank is a 'saddle style'
tank with a 'HUMP' in the middle where the driveshaft goes so the
right side is the side where the fuel need to be to go to the
engine. Sometimes the left jet-pump gets clogged and even if the
gauge reads some fuel level other than empty, the right side might
be empty. You can pull the rear seat cushion and some cover screws
to get to both the electric and jet-pump covers to look into the
tank sections.....

enjoy your car

Service light saab 95 vector 04 reg

You need to have it put on a machine for diagnostics. Because it could be any number of things on the service light. The fuel light switch on the inside of the tank has drawed moisture over the years and needs to be replaced. All gas tanks draw moisture or some gas just has some water content. By the way have you ever changed the gas filter? That may cause your engine light to be on and Oil change might too.
