2015 FLHTK radio not working
I’m looking @ buying this bike and the current owner says everything works on the infotainment except the radio only static?
He says probably only a minor fix like a “wire”
has anyone heard of this issue?

NO. He has screwed up something on the bike. And if it's only a wire, something PROBABLY EASY to fix, why hasn't he fixed it?
Find another bike to buy and from someone that isn't a con artist.

First, does the bike have the antenna? Second, is the radio tuned to a radio station, preferably an FM station?

Yeah, classic attempt to downplay an issue....
He either doesn't have a clue what's wrong and should say so, or knows full well what's wrong and doesn't want you to know...
In any case, he's hiding something and his dishonesty should be a red flag.... What else is wrong that he's not going to tell you about and may be actively hiding...???
Too many nice, used bikes on the market to roll the dice on a bike being sold by someone playing games...
I'd move on...

If there is static the radio is "working". Probably an antenna issue. I have a 2014 and I can't recall if I've ever listened to the radio on it.

lots of the cheap LEDs will emit RF that knocks out radio reception

I have found on multiple occasions, on multiple bikes, the issue is a loose connection at the antenna/coax interface located inside the tour pack. The AM/FM antenna is located on the rear LEFT side of the tour pack. Right side mount is for CB use.
