* Under the hood: This is the main fuse box and will contain a large number of fuses and relays for various electrical components. It's usually a black plastic box, possibly with a cover. Its exact appearance might vary slightly depending on the specific trim level and options on the Explorer.
* Inside the passenger compartment: There's often a smaller fuse panel, sometimes located under the dashboard on the driver's side. This one typically handles the power to interior accessories and convenience items.
It's not a single, easily recognizable component. To find them, you'll need to consult your owner's manual. It will have diagrams showing the location of all fuse boxes and relays, and describe the fuses they contain.
In short: Don't expect a single large, easily identifiable box. Look for several smaller fuse and relay centers both under the hood and inside the cabin. Your owner's manual is your best resource for precise locations and identification.
