I think you're wrong here. That Dash Harness you posted is dated '13. I called Thor CS and got the current Dash Harness. It indicates the the the Orange wire (one has a Black stripe) are the left and right heater wires. It seems that the White wire is the ground from else where on the sheet. Also those would be the switch legs (after the switch), I think you want to tap the Blue/Red wire instead. <2cents worth

Thanks for the post. It made me rethink the problem. The two orange wires go into and out of the lighted switch for the mirror heat. Thinking about it, of course, one is hot all the time (as long as the ACC switch is on) and the other is only hot when the switch and the light are on. That switch, as any light switch, is just an interrupt in a hot wire. So I need to take the feed for my Port from the “in” orange wire that is always hot and find a ground wire under the dash or test that white wire and make sure it is really the ground. Thanks again. Senior moment.
