The invention relates to a failure detector for a dual hydraulic circuit such as a dual brake circuit in a motor vehicle. The detector comprises a movable piston assembly so as to define in a bore on opposite sides thereof two pressure chambers. Switch means are provided to make electrical contact when the movable assembly moves in certain direction from a central idle position due to pressure imbalance between the chambers. The movable assembly comprises a sleeve acting with the switch means and two resilient discs. The sleeve is mounted in a core fixed to a plug mounted in the bore and having the same axial length as the sleeve. The two discs are sealingly slidable along the bore and mounted in a fluid-tight manner on two axial projections attached to the opposite sides of the core and being smaller in diameter than the core.
