What does it mean if my car wont hold a charge if it sits for a few days if the battery is new?

Brand new battery failure that quickly would likely be bad connections at the battery, scrape clean the post connectors of any rust or corrosion. If the problem persists, the alternator would be the next step.

04 crown vic alt no charge

Well, either you have a bad alternator or a broken wire at the alternator. Check the small red field wire which excites the alternator and the large red output wire. Also check for a loose belt. Make sure your battery is charged as trying to charge a dead battery can overload and destroy an alternator.

Tail,dome and front corner lights come on when battery connected

Have you checked to see if your alternator is charging now and is your solenoid burnt or blown will it crank over? these would be ideal locations to start test battery to to see what it is holding for charge level. Sometime local automotive part stores offer a test program in store like canadian tire test it before you replace it bring in the part and test it!! are you in Canada?
