I assume that these are factory remotes? Has your Explorer lost power recently? Possible that the the alarm forgot the remotes coding. You may try new batteries anyhow though.

Check the manual. There should be a procedure to have the vehicle re-learn the remotes. You could also have a bad receiver.
I found this:

Programming
NOTE: All keyless entry remote transmitters must be set at the same time.
To program (or reprogram) the keyless entry remote transmitters into the RAP module, perform the following steps:
1. Make sure that the anti-theft system is not armed or triggered.
2. Turn the ignition switch from OFF to RUN five times within ten seconds, ending in RUN. If the RAP module has successfully entered program mode, it will lock and then unlock all doors.
3. Press any button on a keyless entry remote transmitter, and the doors will lock and then unlock to confirm that each keyless entry remote transmitter has been programmed.
4. If the door locks do not respond for any keyless entry remote transmitter, wait several seconds and press the button again. If the door locks still fail to respond, refer to Diagnosis and Testing in this section.
5. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position, or wait up to five minutes after step 2, to exit program mode. If a keyless entry remote transmitter has been programmed (or reprogrammed), the RAP module will lock and unlock all doors one last time to confirm.

You're welcome. Hopefully the programming sticks.
