No it doesnt, the shock is still the same length with the same travel. The only time it would reduce travel is if it the car was so low that the wheel hit the inside of the wheel arch.
It'll be battery related. Jump/bump start it and check the voltage of the battery with the engine running to check that the alternator is charging. If the voltage is high 13's ish then replace the battery. If its around 12v or lower then theres an alternator/charging issue.
I have a similar issue. Mine is the wiring to the sensor.
My temp sometimes shows as low, give the wiring a wiggle and its bang in the middle of the temp gauge again.
If the boots have just come off then repack them with CV grease and secure with a large jubilee clip. Its not the usual way of doing things but its the most reliable way of doing it.
If the boot is spilt then its a bit more envolved to change it.

Do you have access to Ricardo Wave? If your uni does Formula Student you will have a lot more options for inovation if you make a system for that.
