The -s ending marks the verb after he, she, it or a singular noun: it selects, a query selects rows from a database. The same spelling also serves as the plural of the noun select, the button on a joypad, so in 'both selects stopped working' it is a noun, not a verb. The adjective select, meaning 'privileged' or 'top-notch' (a select few), never takes the ending.
