on my 1996 there is a black "switch" in the door jam area under the door handle. ypu push it up or dwon to engage or disengage the child proof stuff. mine was stuck. soaked with WD40 and then moved it up and down a couple times and now it is off.

I have a feeling that you may get more help if you posted in the correct fourm seeing as this isnt the Explorer forum...its F150....also its possible that the linkage inside the door has broken....you may have to remove the door panel to repair or replace it.
