When hardwiring the Bestop PowerBoard Motorized Running Boards # B7513815, which are confirmed to fit your 2016 Ram 1500 if it has the Crew Cab, you will first need to locate the rubber wire boot on the driver's side firewall. Cut a small hole for the trigger wires.
You will then tape the leading end of the wires together, coat with a silicon sealant and slide the ends of the wire bundle through the rubber boot into the cabin. The wires will come out just above and to the left of the brake pedal. Note that some vehicles will have a cover that will need to be removed to access the white connector panel inside the cab, against the driver side firewall and behind the emergency brake pedal. You just need to remove the three fasteners in order to remove this cover bracket.
Once exposed, locate the white connector panel against the driver's side firewall, behind the emergency brake pedal. There are three connectors, as shown in the image I have attached. The violet wire will go to the white connector, the violet/white wire will go to the white connector, the violet/gray wire goes to the blue connector and the violet/yellow wire goes to the black connector.
I have also included the complete installation instructions for these running boards, which includes the wiring process, that you can also take a look at.
