I believe my truck has the harness for factory power running boards and was wondering if I could wire the AMP steps to it?

Sure, if you know the pin out to ID the right wires.

The amp kit for 2017+ plugs into obd2. What is issue with that? I have a set sitting here waiting to go on, so curious

They are good steps but I think the obdII sends false signals sometimes. While using remote start they will start to deploy then retract. When the doors auto lock after starting to drive I will hear them retract as if they had started to deploy.

Oh great. Thanks for heads up. I’ll watch this to see if you make any progress or learn anything about how to correct

Hey guys I put a set of AMP XL stemps on mine a few months ago, theres 2 wires that go through a grommet under the carpet on the driver side which connects to an OBD connector (all the connectors are supplied). There is a "control box" that gets mounted near the battery with a harness that they provide. The installation was pretty straight forward and ive had literally 0 malfunctions or false door events etc. They work really well. If you are having trouble maybe the connections arent solid or maybe you have a defective part in your kit? They literally work 100% perfectly on my truck and I really couldnt be happier with the quality or function of the product.

I have the hard wired set on my 15 F350. I originally wanted to do exactly what the OP is asking. However, once I started installing the steps it became apparent that it would be cleaner and easier to run the 4 wires through a rubber grommet into the cab on the passenger side. Otherwise, I would of had to run wires from the drivers side harness to the passenger side harness either under the truck (would have to figure out how to protect/hide the wires) or up through the engine bay down the other side. The system is run by a bank installed in the engine bay and comes with a wire harness designed to run from the passenger side battery to each step's motor and a third run that is sized to go into the cab on the passenger side.
