Someone can correct me if I am wrong, but if you are to disconnect the battery and reconnect the battery, doesnt this reset the code to the general/factory code.
For the code..as per a google search i came accross some info:
"Apparently, there is a sticker underneath the dash somewhere with the code. ."
OR
"the code is printed labeled on a sticker on the underside of the decklid. It is on the drivers side"

Its a 4 or 5 digit code, that should be highlighted/bold/upcase.
Since you dont have an owners manual, i found one on the internet for sale:

I think it was 10 bucks or so, and its in upstate south carolina.
As for keyfobs, check out ebay, ie this one:

Someone fill in if I have left off anything cause im doing this from memory on a 96 explorer...
EDIT: SHOZ123-->>Thanks for the correction.
