Check out this link: http://ww2.v8sho.com/SHO/TSB0197HO2SServiceTips.htm.
It is for the Taurus SHO, but the codes, descriptions and diagrams apply to your explorer as well.
Bank 1 is on the passenger side and bank 2 is on the driver's side.
Sensor 1 is before the cat and sensor 2 is downstream.
FYI, on my explorer (96 V8 AWD), the connectors are on top of the transfer case and are accessed through a panel underneath the console. Quite a pain to get to.
