They are grounding switches - the switch closes and completes the circuit to ground when the door is opened. The left door gets signal from the BCM on a gray with black wire, the right door gets the signal on a black with white wire, and both switches ground through black wires.
However, you might not want to bypass them because they affect other functions of the BCM besides the courtesy lights - alarm system and retained accessory power. The first thing to try is cleaning because road grime tends to make the switches stick. Also, there is a certain amount of adjustment in the switch play available by loosening the mounting screws. You might find that some adjustment will make the switches work properly.
