Short in the thermostat wires. 2 of them are touching each other. Check by the burner, may have got overheated/melted together. Disconnect one on the gas valve and see if it closes. VERY rare that the valve will be faulty/stuck open. Don't remove the one from the pilot generator or the pilot and everything will drop out.

Hi,
If you suspect shorted wire, how about removing wires at the other end(FP end). Or gas valve might be stuck open.

Remove one at the gas valve. Follow the wires from there and look for damage.
