Will the drivers door loom affect the passenger switch and vice versa? I'll go check if they light up

Are the broken wires usually easy to see? Could I put a bridging wire in to rejoin them?

all depends what plug you have some plugs are sealed and if the wire is broken close to the sealed plug it could be difficult to get a connection for your bridging wire
but yes bridging is how most do the repairs

And they are easy to spot?
Just checked to see if the switches light up... the passenger one does when ignition is turned on
