I have a 2006 mountaineer with power running boards
If you have a information menu in the dash, besides all of the gas mileage and trip functions- there is another menu.
On this menu you are able to set the horn to chirp when setting the alarm, park assist for the mirrors and so forth. One of the functions should be the on/off for the running boards.

Keyless entry code location
If you still have an owners manual there is a plastic card for your wallet with the number. Some dealers will write the number on the owners manual covers.
The vehicle will usually have the number on a hinge. It can be in several places. The rear hinges for the tailgate, the hood hinges, the door hinges or door jams. Sometimes under the bottom of the doors or bottom of the liftgate..

Install a 7 wire trail brake controler
If your vehicle is anything like my F150 there is an empty unused electric connector just under the dash about where your knee would go for braking.
The wires run to the trailer plug on the back bumper. I spent the extra money for a controller with the correct plug and just snapped it on and tightened 1 ground wire at the dash and I was done.
If you just have wires and no plug with your controller you will have to wire it into that same plug.
