After starting the car, removing the battery will prevent it from running. Reasons why removing the battery prevents the car from running: The car battery is not only responsible for starting the engine but also provides power to other electrical devices in the car. Once removed, many electrical components such as the dashboard, headlights, and horn will stop functioning, and the car will not be able to move. Principle of the car battery: It has a certain self-discharge rate, meaning it naturally loses some charge even when no electrical components are connected. During long-term parking, if the car has power-consuming devices like anti-theft alarms or dashcams, the battery consumption will be even greater, potentially leading to a dead battery. Therefore, it is recommended to disconnect the negative terminal of the battery to avoid severe battery drain. However, removing the negative terminal can also have certain consequences.

What are the reasons for a vehicle not moving when in gear?

Vehicle not moving when in gear is a comprehensive functional failure involving the clutch, transmission, and drive axle. The clutch is located within the flywheel housing between the engine and transmission, with the clutch assembly secured to the rear plane of the flywheel by screws. The output shaft of the clutch serves as the input shaft of the transmission. The transmission, also known as the gearbox, is an automotive component used to alter the speed and torque from the engine and can fix or change the gear ratio between the output and input shafts. The drive axle consists of the main reducer, differential, wheel drive mechanism, and drive axle housing. It redirects the power transmitted from the universal drive at a 90-degree angle, changes the direction of force transmission, reduces speed via the main reducer, increases torque, and then distributes it to the left and right axle shafts and drive wheels through the differential.
