Explorers have an issue with the transfer case if this is a awd version it has a viscus fluid coupling that can slip and allow the vehicle to
roll away slowly find a steep hill and put it in park no e-brake and see if it slips down the hill on the automatic 4-wheel drive system the systen can also slip but it works different their is a mechanical connection to the transmission then it would most likely be the parking prowl
Parking pawl bar snapped in the transmission.
SOURCE: 1997 ford explorer rolls/creeps forward while in park
linkage is off, not starting in park, neutral safety switch maybe bad
SOURCE: How do I adjust the parking brake?
Loosen the cable nut at the rear brake, pull the cable until the tension is tight, then tighten the cable nut. Since the parking brake only operates on the rear brakes, your rear pads may be too worn causing the parking brake not to hold. Check the pads first to see if they need to be replaced. Also, the parking brake cable can stretch or break over time. Verify that isn't case since you may need to install a new cable rather than adjust it.
