Hey there. So after 3 long days, I managed to fully remodel my entire bathroom. Took a lot and Im happy with how its turned out. Except one thing: My shower faucet will not stop running when I turn on my main Water. It flows and flows. I have the stems in the hot and cold valves the way Im supposed to. I can turn them back and forth and they stop when they should. But still water keeps spitting out. There are no leaks, but it all comes out and will not stop without the water main being turned off. Im not an expert in Plumbing.. and know little of the lingo. Any help on what I may do would be helpful. I can post some pics tomorrow to show what I have done. Hope someone can help me.

Have you pulled the stems out, to check if there is debris caught in the seats?

The worst situation would be if you somehow damaged the inside of the faucet body and it has to be replaced.
