Are both front indicators using the same ground?
If not, try connecting a wire from driver side ground to pass side ground.
I assume you r talking about indicator inside the headlight

First check circuit diagrams as much of the car is negative switched so the above would cause more faults.

You had said you checked for power and there was no power on thewire for the turn signal. Have you engaged the hazards flashers and checked for operation?
If the rear light works with the turn signal then the signal stalk is operating correctly. If the turn signal lights with hazard switch then the wiring is good.
If the light doesn't work with the hazards then you need to check for a crack or break in the wire to the bulb.
If the light works with hazard then probably the fault lies with the GEM general electrical module.
