I'm not familiar with the wiring in THAT early a 240D, but in the later cars, at least, a single contact switch handles the lights/buzzer.

If I had to guess... this is a 38 year old car, and I'd bet that the second switch was for an alarm system that may or may not still be (at least partially) installed.
