That’s probably because the action of the switches is merely to complete a circuit to earth via the switch body, to enable current to flow through the light. The fact that two are on one side is that one of those wires will be the main incoming one from the light and the other will be a loop to the passenger side switch.
A methodical approach: Suggest you first disconnect the wire from the passenger switch and if light goes out, it’s that switch that is faulty. If not take both wires off drivers side. If light goes out, it is that switch faulty. If light still stays on, then there is likely to be a pinched wire somewhere between the light and the drivers door switch or between driver door switch and passenger door switch. If you can identify the wire that loops to passenger side by colour, you could reconnect that one and if light comes back on, it’s a fault on that wire. If not, it’s on the wire back towards the light. Hope that helps.
