Expert Reply:
The wiring harness for your 1995 Ford Explorer should be on the passenger side of the vehicle behind the bumper. This harness should have a cap on it you can remove and then plug the harness designed for your vehicle, part # 118241 right into it.
The harness you found may not be the correct one. Per the instructions for the # 118241, you will find the connector on the passenger side behind the bumper for an Explorer.
When working with electrical connectors I recommend using dielectric grease like part # 11755. This keeps dirt and moisture out of the electrical connections and helps prevent corrosion.
