My driverside and passengerside breaklights are not working, but the
center light is.  I have checked the fuse and bulbs, they all look
good. It seems like it could be an electrical connection, but i do not
know where to begin. Is there anyone who could help me with this
problem?

IIRC, there are two brake switches on this vehicle.  ONe for the high
light and one for the low lights.  Check both of them.  They are up
under the dash.  The brake pedal actuates them.  If its not the brake
switches then i would check the turn signal switch next.

I looked under the dash, but I am not sure what I am looking for, which
side of the dash are you refering too? And what am I looking for? Do
all the break lights run on the same fuse?  I noticed today that my
left blinker blinks faster than before, and faster than the rightside,
but bothsides do work.  All lights are working except for the two
breaklights.

The brake pedal actuates them mechanically so it would be the side of
the vehicle that has the brake pedal.  You should look for the switches
that actuate the brake lights.
The fast or slow blinking could be related.  A burned out bulb or bad
ground will make the lights blink slow.  A short will make them blink
fast.
It could still be the turn sig switch though.

Look higher-up near the top of the break pedal.

Ok, so I replaced the bulbs, and the stop light switch, but the lights
are still not turning on.  I also removed the flasher relay, after I
reinstalled it (because part will need to be ordered) the left side
slowed back down to normal.  Any other suggestions? I am lost.
