If they are to short, could you make a short strut tube that would slip inside then we could weld to,and it would fit anybodys coilover made for 240 strut tubes
If it resets every 30 sec you might have a circut breaker.Maybe installed when it was hybrid,look for changes in the harness. Do you still have a fuse link wire at starter
Sounds like you are loosing main battery power or ground. check both cables very well . turn on head lights after trying to start and see if they work, if not try moving moving both cables around.
