On a 2004 Explorer with the newer body, the port is behind the glove box on the left side. You will open the glove box, push in the two tabs it rests on to get it to open further and the connector is buried on the left hand side, close to the center console.

The port is located above the pedals for F-150/Expedition or larger Ford Trucks and SUVs.
