Welcome to the forum!

As a new member, you need to acquaint yourself with the "Search this forum" feature. I used it to search for the keywords "program remote" and got 35 hits. At least one of those contains directions for programming remotes to a 1994 Explorer.

Also, if you have an owner's manual, the directions are probably in there as well.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
________________________________________
NOTE: The remote entry receiver module erases all previous transmitters from memory when the transmitters are programmed or re-programmed. The remote entry receiver module can store up to four transmitters in memory.
To program (or re-program) transmitter(s) into the remote entry receiver module, perform the following steps:
1. Turn ignition switch to ON or ON/ACCESSORY position and momentarily short the two terminals of the Program Connector (J4) (a two-pin connector taped to the wire assembly and accessed by removing the LH quarter access panel). All doors should lock then unlock. Remove shorting pin.
2. Press any button on transmitter. All doors should lock then unlock to verify the transmitter has been programmed. If door locks do not respond, press button again (up to three times maximum with the same transmitter).
3. Repeat Step 2 to program additional transmitters into the remote entry receiver module (up to four transmitters maximum).
4. Turn ignition switch off. All doors should lock then unlock.
5. Check operation.
